Pincho de Albóndiga (Pork Meatball Tapa) with a Surprise!


By A New Post from FOODalogue (Visit website)



OK, now the surprise is out of the bag. It's a pork meatball with a surprise chorizo filling served with Mojo Rojo (piquillo pepper sauce).




Ingredients/Recipe for the Meatball
1 lb of ground pork
1-1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1 egg beaten with a splash (or two) of hot sauce
1/2 cup of parsley
1 clove of garlic minced
S&P

1/2 cup of bread crumbs
2 tablespoons minced chorizo

Mix all ingredients except bread crumbs and chorizo. Start forming meat ball and squish a little chorizo in the center and reform to cover filling. Roll in bread crumbs. Bake in 350 degree oven about 30 minutes. Makes about 10 small meatballs.

Piquillo Pepper Sauce (Mojo Rojo)
1/2 cup of piquillo peppers (or pimentos)
1/4 cup olive oil
1-1/2 tbl slivered almonds
a few drops of sherry vinegar

Pulse all the ingredients till they emulsify.

To Serve: Place on skewer (background second photo) or puddle sauce and make a 'pincho' (a Basque tapa) by placing the meatball on small toast with a Spanish olive topper.

What I liked best: It's a given that meatballs, especially made with pork and a chorizo filling, would be tasty so what really did it for me with this preparation was the fennel seed in the meat mixture and the contrast (both in taste and appearance) of the sweet piquillo pepper sauce.
