A delightful twist on classic meatballs, these are simmered in a vibrant and spicy tomatillo sauce.
Blend the tomatillos, onion, garlic, and chipotle chiles until smooth.
Blending the ingredients ensures a smooth and consistent sauce.
Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Simmering enhances the flavors of the sauce.
In a bowl, mix the ground meats, milk, egg, mint, cilantro, and oregano until combined.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut.
Using slightly wet hands can prevent the mixture from sticking.
Add the meatballs to the simmering sauce, cover, and cook for 25 minutes.
Ensure the sauce covers the meatballs for even cooking.
Serve the meatballs with the sauce, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Serving with warm tortillas or rice enhances the dish.
