Hi All: Thought I'd share these recipes, I've been making huge pots of
these meatballs, they're very easy but very flavorful. The rice goes very
nicely with them. The meatballs ("Albondigas En Salsa Chipotle" are based
on a recipe from Chile Pepper magazine. The rice ("Flagstaff Green Rice")
is based on a recipe in Food and Wine. As usual they bear little
resemblance to the original recipes.

Put the green onion, olive oil and jalapeno in a bowl, cover and micro-wave
full power about 40 seconds. Stir in parsley and cilantro. Set aside until
rice is cooked.

Boil water with butter and salt in micro-wave. Add rice, cook 20 minutes at
1/2 power.

Stir rice and add black pepper and chopped herb and jalapeno mixture. Stir
to mix thoroughly. Let sit covered until rice is fluffy.

Serve meatballs and sauce with the rice.
