Cheese and pork come together for some flavorful meatballs, tender, moist, and mighty good. But the side here competes with the main with fresh cauliflower and sweet apple roasted together into tantalizing flavor.(A bit of ancho cinnamon rub helps the proceedings along.) This meal is all about bringing good things together.
