Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1½ teaspoons fennel seed (or more or less to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon peppercorns
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 pound ground pork
Instructions
  1. Combine the olive oil, vinegar, and parsley in a medium bowl. Combine the fennel, salt, peppercorns, and red pepper in a spice grinder and pulse a few times to roughly break up the fennel seeds; add to the parsley mixture, then add the garlic and onion powders. Stir to combine, the use your hands to mix the pork and spices together.
  2. Sauté the pork mixture in a skillet over medium high heat, using a spoon to break up the meat as it cooks. Remove from heat when there is still a tiny bit of pink showing in the meat and drain off excess fat. Store in the refrigerator for a few days or freeze until ready to use.
