Spicy Black Bean Meat Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl, combine red onion, jalapeno, bread crumbs, salt, chili powder, and pepper. Set aside.
• Drain black beans and rinse thoroughly in a colander.
• In a food processor, combine black beans and egg until completely pureed. Add this mixture to the remaining ingredients.
• Combine all ingredients together. The mixture should not be sticky and should be easily formed into balls.
• Form mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls, making 12. Place them on a nonstick cookie sheet (or spray with non-stick spray) and place in the preheated oven.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and firm. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, salt, chile powder and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chiles, beans and broth and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans have softened and the sauce has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with cilantro leaves and Cotija.

Steps:

• Whisk egg, cumin, chili powder, and chile-garlic sauce together in a bowl.
• Mash black beans in a separate bowl until they reach a paste-like consistency.
• Stir jalapeno pepper, corn, and garlic through the black bean paste.
• Mix the egg mixture into the black bean mixture.
• Scatter the bread crumbs over the black bean mixture; mix with your hands to evenly incorporate.
• Form the resulting mixture into 4 patties.
• Pour flour into the bottom of a shallow dish; coat the patties in the flour to help them hold shape.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties in hot oil until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.

Steps:

• First make the meatballs. Tip the mince into a bowl, add the oats, spring onions, spices and the coriander stalks, then lightly knead the ingredients together until well mixed. Shape into 12 ping-pong- sized balls. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the meatballs and cook, turning them frequently, until golden. Remove from the pan.
• Tip the onion and garlic into the pan with the pepper and stir-fry until softened. Stir in the cumin and chilli paste, then pour in the stock. Return the meatballs to the pan and cook, covered, over a low heat for 10 mins. Stir in the tomatoes and beans, and cook, uncovered, for a few mins more. Toss the avocado chunks in the lime juice and serve the meatballs topped with the avocado and coriander leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment.
• Combine drained and rinsed beans in a food processor and pulse for 10-15 seconds, or until coarse and combined. Be careful not to over process-you don't want mushy beans!
• Transfer the processed beans to a large bowl and add all of the remaining ingredients, except for the Ragu Spicy Red Pepper Sauce. Using a rubber spatula, gently blend all of the ingredients together.
• Once the meatball mixture is well combined, use a spoon and your hands to form golf ball sized "meatballs." (Makes about 15 meatballs.) Place formed meatballs on a foil or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake the meatballs in a 375 degree oven for 20-30 minutes, or until brown on top.
• While the meatballs are in the oven, warm the Ragu Spicy Red Pepper Sauce in a medium saucepan. Serve with the bean meatballs. Meatballs and sauce can be served with pasta or on their own.

Steps:

• Mash beans in large bowl. Add egg, bread crumbs and cheese; mix well. Shape into 12 "meatballs," using about 2 Tbsp. bean mixture for each meatball.
• Heat oil in medium skillet on medium-high heat. Add meatballs; cook 6 to 8 min. or until evenly browned on all sides, turning occasionally.
• Add pasta sauce; stir to evenly coat meatballs. Simmer on medium-low heat 5 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Garnish with basil leaves before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat. Fry the meatballs for 5 mins until browned, then transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Fry the onion and peppers with a pinch of salt for 7 mins. Add the coriander stalks, garlic, paprika and cumin and fry for 1 min more. Tip in the sugar, tomatoes and beans, and bring to a simmer. Season, return the meatballs to the pan and cook, covered, for 15 mins. To freeze, leave to cool completely and transfer to large freezerproof bags.
• Serve the chilli with the rice and the coriander leaves scattered over.
