Golden, aromatic pork meatballs are made by combining lean, fresh pork mince with finely chopped onion, fennel, lemon zest, smoked paprika, and a touch of salt and pepper, then gently pan-fried in olive oil until beautifully browned. The meatballs are served in a rich, garlicky tomato sauce made from whole Italian tomatoes, crushed to a smooth pulp and sautéed with olive oil, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper. Garnish with fennel for a fresh, aniseed finish that brightens the dish.
