This zippy appetizer is my family's favorite dish using cumin, reports Darlene Babineaux of Arabi, Louisiana. Ingredients:
4 cups tomato juice, divided |
3/4 cup cornmeal |
2 tablespoons ground cumin, divided |
2 tablespoons chili powder, divided |
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/2 pound ground beef |
1/2 pound bulk pork sausage |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup tomato juice, cornmeal, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, garlic and cayenne. Add the beef and sausage and mix well. Shape into 1-1/4-in. balls.
2. In a dutch oven, combine the remaining tomato juice, cumin, chili powder and salt; bring to a boil. Add meatballs; cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Yield: 8-10 servings.
