Chilli con carne style meatballs with black beans and brown rice

When it comes to the story of chili, tales and myths abound. One far-fetched starting point comes from Sister Mary of Agreda, a Spanish nun in the 1600s who never left her convent yet had an out-of-body experience in which her spirit was transported across the Atlantic to preach Christianity to the Indians. Upon her return, her spirit wrote down the first recipe for chili con carne... Truthful or not, here adapted into a meatball version! Meal rich in protein and dietary fibre.
