Fennel and pork is an old pairing, and toasting the seed before it goes into the meat is the difference between tasting it and only reading it on the package.

Method

6 steps · 35 minutes

Toast the fennel seeds in a dry pan for 30 seconds, until they smell of aniseed rather than of nothing, then crush them roughly.
Work them into the pork with the garlic, chili and salt using your hands, and stop the moment it holds together. Overworked ground pork goes bouncy.
Shape four flat patties and rest them in the fridge for 10 minutes so they keep their shape in the pan.
Fry them in the oil over medium-high heat, 4 minutes a side, then lift them out.
Tip the tomatoes into the same pan and simmer them down for 8 minutes, until they stop tasting of the can.
Return the patties to warm through, tear the basil over, and grate the parmesan on at the table rather than into the pan.
