7oz Pork Chop / Fennel Ragout / Pave' / Seasonal Vegetables Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork Chops

   Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Fennel Ragout

   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add chopped fennel and minced garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the ragout thickens slightly.

3. 3

   Cook the Seasonal Vegetables

   In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Blanch the seasonal vegetables for about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

4. 4

   Combine and Serve

   Return the pork chops to the skillet with the fennel ragout. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Serve the pork chops on a plate topped with fennel ragout, alongside the blanched seasonal vegetables.
