Ingredients
- 2 oz smoked bacon 60g, approx 2 slices (streaky)
- ½ onion
- 8 oz fennel 225g, 1 small bulb
- 6 oz ground pork 170g pork mince
- ½ tablespoon fresh sage chopped
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs 60g, approx 2 slices bread
- 3 oz prunes 90g, cut into small pieces (about 6-8 per prune)
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F/190C.
- Finely dice the onion and cut the bacon and fennel in to small pieces (cut larger fennel slices into smaller chunks).
- Render some fat from the bacon in a medium-sized skillet/frying pan over a medium heat.
- Once some fat is released, add the onions and fennel. Add some oil, if needed, and cook for a few minutes until both the onions and fennel are soft and gently browned.
- Add the sage and pork and cook the pork through, breaking it up as you cook it.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and add the prunes, breadcrumbs and egg. Season with some salt and pepper, to taste. Mix everything together then transfer the mixture to a baking dish (approx 8x6in/20x15cm) and flatten the top. At this point, you can cover and refrigerate until later, if making ahead.
- Bake for approx 30 minutes until the top has lightly browned.
