Pour the mixture into the baking dish.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the center is set and not liquid.
Fennel and tarragon step up the flavor.
In a large bowl, combine the pork, blueberries, tarragon, fennel, salt and pepper.
Mix gently with your hands until everything is well combined but not overworked.
If it needs more salt and pepper, add it now.

Want steak for dinner?
Combine all the ingredients except for the coconut oil in a plastic zip-top bag or a medium bowl.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Longer is definitely better, up to 24 hours.
Remove the meat and pat it dry.
Discard the marinade.Heat a skillet to medium-high heat and add the coconut oil.
Flip the steak and sear the other side for 3 minutes.
Cut into thin strips, against the grain (muscle fibers).
Itll be really tender that way.Instead of pan-searing the steak, grill it.
