Spiced Pork Patties with Tomato Pan Sauce
plus Rainbow Vegetable Jumble
- Wheat
- Milk
If you love meatballs and you love burgers, you’re going to go batty for these patties! First you’ll form pork meatballs with minced onion and our Tunisian-inspired blend of smoky-savory spices. Then, you’ll smash the meatballs into juicy patties right in the pan to create extra-crispy edges. Meanwhile a colorful combo of carrot, zucchini, and red onion are roasting in the oven. That’s yummy enough, it’s true, but we wouldn’t leave you high and dry—you’ll make a quick tomato-y pan sauce to top it all off!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Trim, peel, and cut carrot on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Halve, peel, and cut onion into ½-inch-thick wedges; mince a few wedges until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces.
• Toss zucchini, carrot, and onion wedges on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• While veggies roast, in a medium bowl, combine pork*, minced onion, half the Tunisian Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest later), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Form pork mixture into six 1½-inch meatballs (twelve meatballs for 4 servings).
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and press down with a spatula to form patties; cook until cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. • Transfer patties to a plate; remove pan from heat and let cool slightly, about 1 minute.
• Heat same pan over medium heat. Add tomato and remaining Tunisian Spice Blend; cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato is saucy, 3-4 minutes. • In a small bowl, whisk together stock concentrate, half the flour (all for 4 servings), and 1⁄3 cup water (2⁄3 cup for 4). Slowly stir flour mixture into pan and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted and combined.
• Divide vegetable jumble and pork patties between plates in separate sections. Top patties with pan sauce and serve.
Ground Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
