Instructions:

  • Step 1.

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine Hungry Planet Pork™, onions, sage, fennel seeds, parsley, garlic powder, mustard, salt, and pepper. Once thoroughly mixed, make 16 - ½ ounce-sized meatballs. Once formed, set aside and heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the skillet. When hot, add meatballs and brown on all sides. Cook meatballs until internal temperature reaches 165℉, about 4 to 6 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.

  • Step 2.

    In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat on medium heat. Add onions, and fennel and cook for 4 minutes. Add apples, and garlic and cook an additional 4 minutes. Next, add mustard, jam, Madeira, broth, salt, and pepper. Cover with lid and cook mixture on medium-low for another 5 minutes, and the sauce has reduced by half, stirring occasionally. Once, reduced, finish with lemon juice and season to taste. Add meatballs, and toss in the apple and fennel mixture. Remove from heat, finish with fennel fronds and serve.
