Cooking Steps
• Finely chop onion, garlic and tomato. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons.
• Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook onion, fennel seeds (see ingredients) and carrot until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add pork mince and garlic and cook, breaking up pork with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes.
TIP: Fennel has a strong aniseed flavour, use less if you're not a fan!
• Add Israeli couscous and tomato to the pork and cook, stirring to combine, 1 minute. • Add the water, chicken-style stock powder, tomato paste (see ingredients) and garlic & herb seasoning. • Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 14 minutes.
TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before cooking the sauce.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop baby spinach leaves.
• When the ribollita has simmered, add baby spinach and stir through until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
• Divide Italian pork and fennel ribollita between bowls. Enjoy!
