Deep and nutty in flavor, it is served with a light stew of roasted peppers, or peperonata , and spiked with sharp capers.

Pork & Beef Meatball (RMB48) – Tomato Sauce, Parmesan, Basil

Another fine thing done with swine, the Pork & Beef Meatball (RMB48) is an Italian-American classic gone big like a Lion’s Head.

The original dish at Homeslice Kitchen was four smaller meatballs, but now it's gone XL. Black pork and Wagyu mince, onion, cooked low-and-slow in a rich tomato sauce.

Meant to be shared, but nobody would judge you if you decided to dive in solo.
