Braised Pork with Fennel Seed and Garlic 🥩🧄

This rustic, slow-braised pork dish is packed with flavour thanks to the sweet warmth of fennel seed and a rich, savoury sauce. Perfect for a cosy night in with a bottle of Primo Sangiovese.

Ingredients

• 4 of your favourite pork chops
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 2 tsp fennel seeds
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 250 ml chicken stock
• JOSEPH Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Directions

1. Mix the garlic, ginger, fennel seeds, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chicken stock in a bowl to make your braising liquid.

2. Heat a large, lidded pan over medium-high heat. Add a generous splash of JOSEPH Extra Virgin Olive Oil and brown the pork chops for about 3 minutes on each side.

3. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the braising liquid. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover with a lid. Cook for 20 minutes, turning the chops halfway through. The sauce will reduce slightly and coat the pork beautifully.

4. Season to taste with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Finish with a generous drizzle of JOSEPH olive oil for extra richness.

Serve with buttery mashed potatoes and your favourite seasonal greens.

Buon appetito!
