Pork Chops with Fennel and Caper Sauce image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
4 boneless (2-inch-thick) pork chops (about 2 pounds total)
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning meat
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning meat
2 fennel bulbs with fronds, thinly sliced (about 8 ounces or 2 cups)
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus 1/3 cup
1/2 cup white wine
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with their juices
1/2 lemon, zested
2 tablespoons capers

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy skillet heat the olive oil over high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Add the pork to the pan and brown on both sides, about 4 minutes each side. Remove the pork from the pan, cover loosely with foil, and set aside.
  • Add the fennel, shallots, and 1/3 cup parsley to the pan and cook over medium heat until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the wine. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes and stir. Add the pork back into the pan, nestling the chops between the fennel and tomatoes so they are mostly submerged in the pan juices. Cook until the fennel is tender and the pork is done, about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Place the pork on a serving dish. To finish the sauce, add the lemon zest, remaining 1/3 cup parsley, capers, and 3/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Spoon over the pork chops and serve immediately.

POT-ROASTED PORK IN WHITE WINE WITH GARLIC, FENNEL, AND ROSEMARY



Pot-roasted Pork in White Wine with Garlic, Fennel, and Rosemary image

This pork recipe takes me about 5 minutes to prepare and get in the oven, so it's nice and quick, as well as being unbelievably light, fresh and tasty. Also, pot-roasting the pork as opposed to straight roasting gives you a lovely natural sauce made with the meat juices and the wine.

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (3 pound/1.5 kilogram) pork loin, off the bone and skin removed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
2 to 3 large knobs butter
Olive oil
8 cloves garlic, skin left on
1 handful fresh rosemary, leaves picked
4 bay leaves
1 fennel bulb, sliced
1/2 (750 ml) bottle Chardonnay

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • With 2 or 3 bits of string, tie up your pork loin, do this any way you like. It doesn't have to be fussy, you just want to keep the meat in a snug shape while it's cooking. Season generously with salt and pepper, then roll the meat in the fennel seeds until covered.
  • In a casserole pan or roasting tray, fry the meat for a couple of minutes in half the butter and a little olive oil, until nice and golden.
  • Throw in the garlic, herbs, fennel, and wine, then cover the tray loosely with some wet greaseproof paper and cook until an inserted meat thermometer reaches 150 degrees F. As the pork loin is off the bone it cooks very quickly. Remove from the oven and allow the meat to rest on a plate. Then, without using any more heat, finish off your sauce in the pan, scraping any goodness off the bottom and adding the rest of the butter. Remove any large bits.

LOIN OF PORK WITH FENNEL

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Good olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups sliced yellow onions (2 onions)
2 cups sliced fennel (1 large bulb)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 large cloves)
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon Pernod or white wine
3 cups fresh bread crumbs
1 (3 1/2-pound) loin of pork, butterflied

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • For the stuffing, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan. Add the onions and fennel with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook over low to medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions and fennel are tender and lightly browned. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 more minute. Add the Pernod and cook for another minute, deglazing the pan. Cool slightly.
  • Add the bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon of salt to the stuffing mixture. Lay the pork on a board fat side down, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing evenly on the pork and roll up lengthwise, ending with the fat on the top of the roll. Tie with kitchen string, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Place the rolled pork loin on a baking rack on a sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F and roast for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the interior of the pork is 137 degrees F. (If the thermometer hits stuffing rather than pork, it will register a higher temperature, so test the meat in several places.) Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the strings, slice thickly, and serve.

BRINED PORK CHOPS WITH FENNEL



Brined Pork Chops With Fennel image

Pork and fennel - both fennel seed and the bulb-shaped vegetable - are often companions, and the combination of flavors is quite delicious. For best results, let the chops soak for at least a few hours, preferably overnight, in a quickly made brine.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, steaks and chops, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 bay leaves
6 black peppercorns, lightly crushed
6 allspice berries, lightly crushed
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly crushed
2 bone-in pork chops, about 12 ounces each
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, sliced 1/4-inch thick
3 or 4 trimmed fennel bulbs, about 1 pound, sliced 1/4-inch thick
Salt and pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
2 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley
A few tender green fennel fronds
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the brine: Put salt, sugar, bay leaves, peppercorns, allspice and fennel seeds in a bowl. Whisk in 4 cups water to dissolve salt and sugar.
  • Put pork chops in one layer in a glass or plastic container. Pour brine over to completely submerge chops. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably longer, up to overnight. Remove chops from brine and pat dry. Discard brine.
  • Cook the chops: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Set a wide, heavy skillet over high heat and add olive oil. When oil is wavy, add chops in one layer and let brown for about 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove chops from pan and set aside. Reduce heat to medium-high and add sliced onion and fennel, stirring to coat with oil. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until beginning to color, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and crushed fennel seeds and turn off heat.
  • Lay the chops on top of the onion-fennel mixture (alternatively, transfer all of it to a baking dish) and place pan, uncovered, in oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the internal temperature of chops is 140 degrees.
  • Remove chops and let rest for about 5 minutes. Transfer onion-fennel mixture to a platter and keep warm. Cut chops into 1/8-inch slices and add to platter. Sprinkle with parsley and garnish with fennel fronds. Serve with lemon wedges.

FENNEL PORK CHOPS



Fennel Pork Chops image

Delicious pork chops simmered in a fennel seed, garlic and white wine sauce.

Provided by KITTYGUTZ

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes     Braised

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 pork chops
1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon fennel seed
1 cup white wine

Steps:

  • Sprinkle garlic salt on both sides of the pork chops. The garlic salt should pretty well cover the chops. Don't be skimpy, but at the same time, don't put on too much.
  • Pour a little olive oil or other cooking oil into a skillet. Put the pork chops in the frying pan and sprinkle fennel seeds on top of the pork chops: 10 to 15 fennel seeds per pork chop will probably do. Let the underside of the pork chop brown then turn over. Once both sides are browned, flip again.
  • Pour the wine into frying pan; cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 10 minutes and flip the pork chops over. Cover them again and let them simmer for another 10 minutes. Make sure the wine doesn't completely evaporate or the pork chops will burn. You may have to add a little more wine or water to the pan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in, center-cut pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. These will cook evenly and stay juicy.
  • Season the pork chops well: Before cooking, season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and other seasonings of your choice. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. If you cook them over high heat, they will brown too quickly on the outside but remain raw on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to perfection is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chop and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: After cooking, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with fennel and rosemary is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with fennel, rosemary, and white wine. The result is a tender and juicy chop that is bursting with flavor. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
