Whole-grain mustard packs a whole lotta flavour into these meatballs. Fashion them from ground pork and a peppery-mustardy seasoning blend, and then roll them into a saucepan for a good stovetop browning. Roasted Brussels sprouts make a solid fall side that’s a good match for size, while the salad refreshes with a sour cream and dill dressing coating a crisp combination of grated kohlrabi and thinly sliced cucumbers.

Preparation
Roast the Brussels sprouts
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Remove the root ends of the Brussels sprouts; halve lengthwise (quarter if large). On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 12 to 14 min., until golden brown and tender.
Prepare & cook the meatballs
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the pork, ⅔ of the mustard, the remaining spices and S&P. Form into 8 meatballs (double for 4 portions) about the size of a golf ball. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the meatballs* and cook, partially covered, turning occasionally, 8 to 10 min., until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, pick the dill fronds off the stems; roughly chop the fronds. Peel and grate the kohlrabi. Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise on an angle.
Make the salad
In a medium bowl, combine the cucumbers, dill, kohlrabi, vinegar, sour cream, remaining mustard, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the meatballs, Brussels sprouts and salad between your plates. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
