Ingredients

• 2 1/2 pounds ground pork
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup plain bread crumbs
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 1 small onion, minced
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1/2 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• Chipotle Tomato Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

Chipotle Tomato Sauce:

2 (28-ounce) cans tomato sauce

1/2 cup canned chipotles in sauce (available in the International section of most supermarkets)

2 teaspoons onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1-ounce unsweetened chocolate chopped into small bits

Salt and black pepper

Put the tomato sauce, chipotles with sauce and the rest of the ingredients into a large, heavy bottomed saucepan. Stir well and place over high heat until the sauce begins to bubble. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour, being sure to stir every 10 to 15 minutes so it doesn't burn.

Yield: 1 1/2 quarts sauce
