Prep Time 15 Min | Cook Time 30 Min | Serves 4-6

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 fennel bulbs, thinly sliced
  • 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tsp nonpareil capers, drained
  • 6 pork chops
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 28 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp zested lemon

Directions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet and cook for 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove the pork from the pan, cover, and set aside.
  • Without draining the skillet, add the fennel, shallots, and 1/3 cup of parsley. Simmer over medium heat. Allow the vegetables to brown slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet.
  • Add the tomatoes with their juices and blend well. Place the pork back into the pan and submerge in the vegetable mixture. Let it simmer over medium heat for 12-15 minutes until the fennel becomes tender and the pork is cooked.
  • Remove the pork from the skillet and place on a serving dish. Add the lemon zest, remaining parsley, capers, salt, and pepper to the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Stir to combine, then pour over the pork. Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!
