[Deathtosnails]

Spicy Chorizo Italian
 
Meatballs on a canoed and toasted Sub roll.  The balls are Chorizo sausage squeezed out of their casings.  They were cooked in crushed tomato with basil

 
The sauce is the reduced tomato with basil and a big ol wollop of Jolokia paste
 

 
Scheezed up and under the grill
 

 
Outta the grill
 

 
With its hat on and ready to inhale.  This thang was guuuuud

Oh SNAP!!!
 
Damn DTS, you rock. 
 
(but you already knew that!)
 
Well played!

 

[texas blues]

DTS you make one fine lookin' meatball sammich!
 
Chorizo is a great riff on that.
 
C'mon SoFlo and posty up some balls!

I just ate a Five Guys burger - not a "junior" this time, but a whole two-patty burger. I had to leave a couple bites, as it was more than I could eat. 
 
Now I'm looking at DTS's sammie, and am wondering if I could fit that in my stomach in spite of the burger. I'm sure it was waaaaaay better - looks schmelty good!

 

[JayT]

DTS that thing absolutely calls to me!!!  That bun itself is a thing of beauty.

 

[geeme]

I just went to the stoh. And that's all I'm sayin' for now.

Here we go y'all.
 
Meatball sammich ~ Asian style.
 
80/20 ground chuck
small diced onion
minced garlic
green onion
some fine chopped generic thai chiles
powdered ginger (forgot to get fresh from the sto')
soy sauce
oyster sauce
sesame seed
 
Mixed it all up in they 'thang.
 

 
After mixing, I let it get all happy in the fridge for a few hours.
 

 
While the balls of meat were gettin' happy I whooped up some wwwhole wwwheat buns.
 
Right out of teh ovenz.
 

 
Rolled the meatness into little balls, about half the size of a golf ball. Rolled 'em in corn starch and then tossed 'em into hot canola oil and Black Betty.
 

 
Split a bun and slathered on some olive earl mayo and just a leetle Mae Ploy, and laid down a bed of shredded cabbage for the balls. (I really wanted some kimchee for this sammich but sadly none was to be found and I didna' have time to drive to Plano to hit up the Asian market)
 

 
The pics don't even begin to do this sammich justice. It was chingalicious. Were I to do again, I'd hollow out the bun, have some for realz honest to goodness kimchee, and slather it with sriracha mayo. But it was pretty got 'dang guud as it was. Just not as purty' as it coulda' been.
 

 
See how easy that was? Now bring on your meatball sammich's. 
 
And I'm talkin' to YOU Aussie's, SoFlo, Geeme, Scovie, Essegi, and JayT 'specially!!!
 
Especially Essegi! I'm dyin' to see and drool over your meatball concoctions.
 
 

imma gonna give this bad boy a whirrrll next time... looks delicouso

 

[Deathtosnails]

Looking good Tinnie!  Change that mince out to lamb and I'd be going Greek on your buns

Im not a big yoghurt eater..... but spike it with garlic and chilli and damn just takes it to another level.... first time i tried with basil... was ok but prefer corriander which i'll stick to in the future

Cool, tinnie. What kind of bread is that, and did you make it yourself?

 
 
I've never tried my hand at making bread... always felt it would end in disaster
 
The bread is mini ciabatta.... these ones were very soft and very tastey.... got about 3 left

 

[geeme]

Meatballs almost ready to go - added a chile-ginger glaze, as well.
