    Spicy Chipotle Meatballs With Rice

    http://img4.realsimple.com/images/1104/meatballs_rice_300.jpg

    * 1 tablespoon olive oil
    * 1 medium onion, diced
    * 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    * 1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
    * 2 to 3 teaspoons chopped canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
    * 1 cup long-grain white rice
    * 1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck
    * 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for serving
    * 1/4 cup bread crumbs
    * 1 large egg, beaten
    * 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    * kosher salt and black pepper

    Directions

    1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and half the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes (with their juices) and chipotles; using a potato masher, break up the tomatoes. Simmer, partially covered, until the sauce has thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, add up to ½ cup water.
    2. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the package directions.
    3. While the rice is cooking, in a medium bowl, combine the beef, cilantro, bread crumbs, egg, cumin, the remaining half of the garlic, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Shape the mixture into 16 meatballs (about 2 heaping tablespoons each).
    4. Heat broiler. Place the meatballs on a foil-lined broilerproof baking sheet and broil, turning once, until cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes. Add the meatballs to the sauce. Serve over the rice and sprinkle with additional cilantro.
