Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the potatoes, fennel, pepper, thyme and garlic in a large roasting tin. Mix together the tomato paste and stock, then pour into the pan. Tightly cover with foil and cook for 30 mins. Take out of the oven and increase the temperature to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.

  • step 2

    Remove the foil and place the pork in the roasting tin, nestling in between the veg. Season well and return to the oven for 15-20 mins more or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve with the pan juices drizzled over.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKE IT WITH CHICKEN

Put 8 chicken thighs on top of the veg before covering and cooking. When the oven temperature increases and the foil comes off, stir 250g cherry tomatoes into the veg and drizzle the chicken with olive oil. Finish cooking as above, then eat with dollops of pesto.

Searched for something different to do with my chops. Lovely easy recipe and very tasty. You could prob stop fennel for onion if you prefer. Only one pan to wash. Love it. Thank you.

question

My pork was so tough and chewy I followed the recipe, what am I doing wrong?

Hi, thanks for your question and sorry to hear this. The most likely cause is overcooking which could happen if your chops were quite thin and/or your oven is running hotter than it says on the dial (this is very common). Other tips that might help are to take the chops from the fridge about 15 mins…

I add a red onion cut into eight which makes this dish even more tasty!

Potatoes cooked just right but the fennel was overdone. Very tasty blend of flavours

Fabulous recipe, I replaced the fennel with fennel seeds and pan fried the chops for a bit of colour before putting them in the oven. I left the potatoes for 5 minutes longer. A firm favourite in our house. Delicious.
