Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup sage. Cook and stir until leaves are slightly crisp, about 1 minute. Remove leaves with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels. Cool, wrap in paper towels, and seal in a plastic bag. Set aside. Reserve the butter.
- Mix the pepper and cumin in a small bowl. Rinse roast and pat dry; rub evenly with the pepper and cumin. Tuck remaining 1/2 cup sage leaves under the strings on the smooth (fattiest) side of the roast. Set the pork, herb side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Spread olive oil in the bottom of a medium baking dish. Thickly slice fennel and place in the dish. Toss to coat with the olive oil, and drizzle with 3/4 cup orange juice. Place onions in the dish cut side down.
- Place roast on the center rack in the preheated oven. Place fennel and onions on lower rack. Bake the pork and vegetables 1 hour, or until pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) and vegetables are tender. Turn fennel once during bake time. Reserving drippings, transfer meat to a platter and keep warm; let stand at least 10 minutes. Keep the vegetables warm in the baking dish.
- Place the roasting pan with reserved drippings over high heat on the stove top, and mix in the reserved butter from Step 1, the remaining 3/4 cup orange juice, stock, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, and stir to scrape up any browned bits in the pan. Cook, stirring often, 10 minutes, or until reduced by about 1/2.
- Arrange onions and fennel around the pork. Garnish with fennel tops, sprinkle with the fried sage leaves, and season with salt to serve.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in sliced fennel and onion and sauté until vegetables are very tender and caramelized, about 40 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon minced garlic and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Fennel mixture can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in another heavy large skillet over high heat. Season pork tenderloins with salt and pepper. Add pork to skillet; cook until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer pork to baking sheet; reserve drippings in skillet. Roasts pork until thermometer inserted into center registers 150°F, about 5 minutes. Remove pork from oven; cover with foil and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, add minced shallots and remaining 1 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds and 1 tablespoon garlic to skillet with drippings and sauté over medium heat until shallots are tender, about 2 minutes. Increase heat to high. Add white wine and boil until liquid is reduced to glaze, about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and whipping cream and boil until reduced to sauce consistency, whisking often, about 5 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
- Rewarm fennel mixture over medium heat until heated through. Divide fennel mixture among 4 plates. Cut pork into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Arrange pork atop fennel. Spoon sauce over pork. Garnish with fennel fronds.
Tips:
- Choose the right fennel bulb: Look for a fennel bulb that is firm and has tightly packed layers. Avoid bulbs that are bruised or have brown spots.
- Trim the fennel bulb properly: Cut off the top and bottom of the fennel bulb. Then, remove the outer layer of leaves. Cut the bulb in half lengthwise and remove the core.
- Slice the fennel bulb thinly: This will help the fennel cook evenly. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the fennel bulb.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure there is enough space between the fennel slices so that they can cook evenly. If the baking sheet is too crowded, the fennel will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the fennel at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the fennel and give it a nice roasted flavor. Roast the fennel at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until the fennel is tender and slightly browned.
- Season the fennel with simple ingredients: Salt, pepper, and olive oil are all you need to season the fennel. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary.
- Serve the fennel immediately: Roasted fennel is best served immediately, while it is still warm. You can serve it as a side dish or as a main course.
Conclusion:
Baked fennel with lemony potatoes and onions is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fennel is roasted until tender and slightly caramelized, while the potatoes and onions are roasted until golden brown. The lemon adds a bright and refreshing flavor to the dish. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
