    Tips from Home Chefs

    Baked Meatballs & Romesco Mayo

    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores, then quarter lengthwise. Cut off and discard any stem ends from the green beans. In a bowl, combine the romesco sauce and mayonnaise; season with salt and pepper.

    2 Cook the rice

    Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

    Meanwhile, transfer the quartered peppers and green beans to a sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer.

    4 Form the meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine the beef, currants, breadcrumbs, and spice blend; season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to combine. Form the mixture into 16 equal-sized meatballs.

    Arrange the meatballs in an even layer on a separate sheet pan. Bake the meatballs and vegetables 12 to 14 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork and the meatballs are browned and cooked through.* Remove from the oven. Serve the baked meatballs and vegetables over the cooked rice. Top with the romesco mayo and almonds. Enjoy! 

    *The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 160°F for beef.
