Steps

Boil 3 eggs over high heat for 4 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and let cool. At the same time, roast the poblano peppers on a charcoal grill for 2 minutes on each side. Once roasted, place them in a plastic bag and let cool.

While the eggs and peppers are cooking, place the ground meat in a large bowl. In a food processor, blend the tomatillo, onion, 1 clove garlic, chopped mint, pinch of cumin, pinch of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the blended mixture to the meat along with the breadcrumbs and 1 raw egg.

Mix the ground meat thoroughly with the other ingredients and form into meatballs. Peel the 3 hard-boiled eggs, cut each into 8 equal pieces, and place a piece in the center of each meatball. Set the meatballs aside.
