Chorizo Mini Meatloaves
Got to start with a clean kitchen....cause you're not gonna end with one!
For the Meatloaves
1 lb fresh chorizo, casing removed
1 lb ground beef from grass-fed cows (where to find grass-fed beef)
2 T adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles in adobo, read the labels, some contain gluten)
2 eggs from pastured hens
3/4 c almond flour (where to find almond flour)
1 large onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, finely diced
tallow
For the Sauce
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 chipotle in adobo sauce (1 pepper, not 1 can)
2 T olive oil (where to find quality olive oil)
handful cilantro, chopped
salt (where to find real, unprocessed salt)
lime
avocado
(18 servings--pics show double)
Take the almonds and toss them in the food processor. (Or if you have almond flour, skip!)
Almost like almond flour....
Dice up the garlic and onions...
Saute the onion and garlic in tallow, until translucent.
Split half the mixture into mixing bowl and food processor. We'll save the food processor portion for the tomato relish.
Doesn't that look great? Take the Chorizo out of its casings.
Add and mix together the chorizo, ground beef, and eggs to the onion garlic mixture.
Add the adobe sauce and almond flour as well. Depending on your tolerance of hotness.... careful with the adobe. As one of the better firehouse cooks I know (Chris Worth from Truck 6) told me, anything that comes in small containers is probably on the strong side-use carefully!
Incorporate with your hands...
Preheat to 350° and set timer to 25 minutes.
Use a muffin in to scoop your meat into.
Let it cook for 25 minutes.
While the meat is cooking, toss the cherry tomatoes in a pan with some oil.
"Let them cook until the skin starts to blister and blacken and you see them pop open."
Add oil and salt to mixture as well as the chipolte pepper.
Mix with the onion/garlic in the food processor.
Process until a slightly thick spreadable mixture.
Pop those meatloaves out.
Drip some of the tomato relish over the top. Slice some avocado for the top and add some parsley to taste.
All 24 for my paleo potluck. (I might have eaten a few and saved some for some friends as well!)
Eat & Enjoy with friends and other tasty paleo foods!
