Pork Chops with Fennel
Fragrant
Here is an unusual dish for you to try out. This Pork Chops with Fennel recipe is something completely different. If you don't enjoy the licorice flavor of the fennel, don't even try this dish. Personally I love fennel. When cooking, the aroma fills the kitchen and the anise flavor of the fennel adds an unexpected taste to these tender chops.
Fennel, as you know, is crunchy with a slightly sweet flavor and very common in Italian dishes. It is a perfect vegetable to serve fish and of course fennel seed is an essential ingredient in making Italian sausage. Another great way I like to eat fennel is to marinate it in olive oil with plenty of spices and serve it on an antipasti platter with your favorite meats and cheese.
Serve this Pork Chops with Fennel dish to your family and friends with a nice bottle of Bottega Vinaia Pinot Noir. This wine has a subtle spicy flavor that will work well with the licorice flavor of the fennel.
