Pork and Fennel Meatballs with Garlic Sauteed Spinach Recipe For Candida
Ingredients
Main Ingredient
- 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
- 1/2 fennel bulb finely chopped
- 4 tbsp olive oil divided
- 2 lbs ground pork
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped
- 1 tsp fennel seed
- 1 tsp sea salt
- pepper for tasting
Ingredient For Garlic Sautéed Spinach (2 servings)
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 1/2 fennel bulb thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper for tasting
Instructions
- Shape the pork mixture into small meatballs, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. Make all the meatballs and place on a sheet of parchment paper.
- Heat your previously used large saute pan with 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat. Place the first batch of meatballs in the pan, being careful not to crowd the pan. Cook the meatballs 2-3 minutes on one side, then rotate them, so that all sides are browned. The meatballs should cook for 15 minutes total or until the inside is no longer pink. When the first batch is done, remove to a paper towel and start the next batch.
- As the meatballs are cooking heat a separate saute pan on medium heat with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced fennel and cook for 4-5 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Lastly, add the spinach and stir together until the spinach begins to wilt.
- Serve immediately by plating a portion of the spinach with 3-4 meatballs.
