For the meatballs, chop the LALA® Plenia® sausages into medium cubes on a cutting board.
In a bowl, combine the rice with the manchego cheese, onion, parsley, breadcrumbs, egg, and LALA® Plenia® sausages; season with enough salt and pepper and mix until you have a pasty and manageable mixture. Form small balls with your hands and refrigerate them for 30 minutes.
For the sauce, blend the tomato with the tomato puree, chipotle pepper in adobo, cumin, and oregano for 3 minutes in the blender. Pour the sauce into a hot saucepan, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10 minutes or until the color changes. Set aside.
In another pan, fry the meatballs until the outer layer is sealed with a little vegetable oil. Drain on paper towels.
Serve the meatballs with the sauce and garnish with fresh oregano.
