Directions

Thoroughly whisk together eggs, Black Garlic, Poultry Seasoning, Chimayo Chorizo Sausage Spice, Coarse Black Malabar Pepper, Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, liquid smoke, and Worcestershire Sauce. Mix the 2 pounds of meat in a large bowl, slowly adding the seasoned egg mixture until fully incorporated. Add the panko and allow the mixture to rest in the refrigerator for 20 min. Use a cookie scoop or form the meatballs into 1-inch round balls and set aside. In a large high-sided skillet, heat canola oil over medium high and sear the meatballs on both sides. Turn down the heat to medium low and cook until meatballs have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees. If using, add marinara sauce and bring to a simmer for 5 to 10 min.
