  Could not get find any chipotle paste so used chipotle Tabasco. My meatballs fell apart when browning in the oil so it ended up like a miced pork keema. Thought the sauce was a bit bland, so I put in lots of black pepper and extra Tabasco. Think a better way would be to bake the meatballs in the oven, then there would be a better chance of the dish looking like it did in the picture!

  My meatballs didn't collapse, always chill them after rolling them up. But I didn't think it was amazingly interesting.

  Cheated with pre-made meatballs but the chipotle sauce was delicious and transformed them to a tasty treat.

  Couldn't find chipotle paste so used 1/2 tbsp of smoked paprika instead. Very easy to make. They also stayed in good shape whilst cooking. Served with rice.

  Chilled the meatballs for 30 min then when frying turned them gently with tongs until browned, kept them together. Added a heep of nice and lazy chilli, and used 160g of Chipotle Chilli sauce instead of paste, you get it in the mexican section in Asda. Went down a treat, guests loved it.

  The sauce was really good, I used 2tbs chipotle and it was nice and spicy. The meatballs weren't very remarkable, they'll need pepping up next time I make this.

  These were absolutely fantastic! Got the chipotle paste from Asda. Forgot to get eggs so I searched online and someone suggested using a little bit of mayonaise. Worked fantastically and meatballs stayed together really well. Went straight to the top of my boyfriend's 'favourites' list and I will be making them again in the very near future :)

  Chipotle is my new favourite flavour after trying this recipe, I use it any time a recipe calls for chilli powder and it's fantastic. Asda and Sainsbury's both stock it in small jars. This stuff tastes fantastic and is pretty cheap. But if you can't find it anywhere or if you're adventurous you can also make your own from red jalapenos if they're available at, say, your local market. There are loads of guides online but it boils down to using indirect heat on a barbeque to dry the peppers out and infuse them with smokey flavour, then rehydrating them later when you need to use them. Definitely worth a go!
