I added fennel and the tomatoes for both texture and sharp flavours. Luckily, they complement well with the pork meat.

This dish is packed with so much belly-filling protein and healthy fibre! I’m so pleased! This is a recommendation I urge you to try whether you are a fan of meatballs or not.

US CustomaryMetric

 

1x2x3x

• 1 pound ground pork (minced pork) - lean
• 1 medium fennel bulb - minced
• 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes - chopped
• 2 tablespoons rosemary - minced
• 2 tablespoons oregano - dried
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 medium red onion - sliced
• 2 medium red pepper (red capsicum) - sliced
• ½ teaspoon olive oil
•  
  4 pieces hotdog buns

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 385 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Add the pork, fennel, tomatoes, oregano, rosemary, and salt to a mixing bowl.
• Gently mix the ingredients, roll into bite-sized balls and place on parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
• Place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes. That’s enough time for the pork to cook but still allow some “bite” left in the fennel. Speaking of fennel, I just love how this dish allows for those “hidden” veggies and more flavour to explode!
• While the pork bites are cooking, in a pan set to medium-high heat, cook the bell pepper with the onion, and olive oil until soft. Slice the pork balls as desired.
• Serve the bites on hotdog buns and top with the sautéed bell pepper and onion.
