Want a little something different for dinner that will clear your sinuses? Try my newest " let's clean out the fridge" recipe. For my Super Spicy Albondigas Rice you need:1 Lb. lean ground beef
1/4C. saltine cracker crumbs
1 egg
A good sized handful of freshly chopped cilantro
1/4 finely diced onion
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/8 C. water
28 oz. canned crushed tomatoes
1/8 C. (or more if you dare) chopped chipotle peppers in adobe sauce
A pot of cooked rice
extra crackers and fat free sour cream for garnishing
For the meatballs:
Combine beef, cracker crumbs, egg, cilantro, onion, cumin and water =makes about 12-15 good sized meat balls
Combine tomato sauce and peppers in a stock pot and bring to a boil. Next add the meat balls, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20mins. You may need to stir halfway through to cook this evenly.
Serve it up over rice and garnish with cilantro, and sour cream. The kids like to scoop it with crackers and sprinkled with a little cheese. Warning: A tall glass of milk to wash it down may come in handy to mellow the burn!
