Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 egg
2 tablespoons bread crumbs
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, very finely chopped
Zest of 1 lime
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 scallion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the Mole-Style Dipping Sauce:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup tomato puree
1-1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
Instructions
Start by preparing the sauce. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes (do not brown). Season with oregano, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
Cook until the spices are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes, the add the tomato puree and continue cooking, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate and stir until melted. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
Place the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, garlic, lime zest, cilantro and scallion in a large bowl. Add the cumin, cinnamon, salt and a few grinds of black pepper and combine thoroughly.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer and fry until lightly browned on all sides.
Continue cooking, turning frequently, until no longer pink in the middle, 4 to 5 minutes.
Drain the meatballs on a paper towel lined plate, transfer to a serving platter and serve with warm dipping sauce.
