Ingredients

1 lb ground pork
1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup kale, chopped
1 cup polenta (cornmeal)
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Method

1
In a large bowl, mix together the ground pork, panko breadcrumbs, egg, half of the minced garlic, dried basil, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2
Form the mixture into 16 meatballs and set aside on a plate.
3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove meatballs and set aside.
4
In the same skillet, add the remaining garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add the chopped kale. Season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
5
Return the meatballs to the skillet with the tomato-kale sauce and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through.
6
While the sauce is simmering, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in the polenta and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
7
Reduce heat to low, stir in the milk and grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring until creamy.
8
To serve, spoon the garlic polenta into bowls, top with the pork meatballs and tomato-kale sauce. Enjoy!
