BRINED PORK CHOPS WITH FENNEL



Brined Pork Chops With Fennel image

Pork and fennel - both fennel seed and the bulb-shaped vegetable - are often companions, and the combination of flavors is quite delicious. For best results, let the chops soak for at least a few hours, preferably overnight, in a quickly made brine.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, steaks and chops, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 bay leaves
6 black peppercorns, lightly crushed
6 allspice berries, lightly crushed
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly crushed
2 bone-in pork chops, about 12 ounces each
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, sliced 1/4-inch thick
3 or 4 trimmed fennel bulbs, about 1 pound, sliced 1/4-inch thick
Salt and pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
2 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley
A few tender green fennel fronds
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the brine: Put salt, sugar, bay leaves, peppercorns, allspice and fennel seeds in a bowl. Whisk in 4 cups water to dissolve salt and sugar.
  • Put pork chops in one layer in a glass or plastic container. Pour brine over to completely submerge chops. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably longer, up to overnight. Remove chops from brine and pat dry. Discard brine.
  • Cook the chops: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Set a wide, heavy skillet over high heat and add olive oil. When oil is wavy, add chops in one layer and let brown for about 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove chops from pan and set aside. Reduce heat to medium-high and add sliced onion and fennel, stirring to coat with oil. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until beginning to color, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and crushed fennel seeds and turn off heat.
  • Lay the chops on top of the onion-fennel mixture (alternatively, transfer all of it to a baking dish) and place pan, uncovered, in oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the internal temperature of chops is 140 degrees.
  • Remove chops and let rest for about 5 minutes. Transfer onion-fennel mixture to a platter and keep warm. Cut chops into 1/8-inch slices and add to platter. Sprinkle with parsley and garnish with fennel fronds. Serve with lemon wedges.

SPICY GRILLED PORK WITH FENNEL, CUMIN AND RED ONION



Spicy Grilled Pork With Fennel, Cumin and Red Onion image

Imbued with spices that char at high heat, this aromatic pork recipe is a snap to throw together - exactly what you want for a night of summer grilling. If you're got wooden skewers, don't forget to soak them in water for an hour before grilling, so they don't flare up. And if you're broiling and you don't want to bother with skewers at all, just spread the pork cubes out on a rimmed sheet pan, turning them halfway through cooking with tongs or a spatula. The pork is excellent served with pita or crusty bread or a rice pilaf, or simple grilled corn on the cob.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     meat, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Kosher salt
1 lime, plus some wedges for serving
1/4 cup cilantro or basil, leaves and tender stems, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 jalapeño or other green chile, seeded if desired
1 teaspoon honey
1 1/2 tablespoons fennel seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 small red onion, sliced, for serving

Steps:

  • Season pork lightly with kosher salt and put it in a bowl or resealable bag.
  • Juice the lime into a blender or food processor and add cilantro, fish sauce, garlic, jalapeño and honey. Blend until the jalapeño and garlic are puréed, then add fennel, cumin, coriander seeds and pulse four or five times to bruise the spices and mix them in.
  • Pour mixture over the pork, tossing to coat the pieces. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes while you heat the grill, or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to cook, heat the grill or broiler with a rack positioned 4 inches from the heat source.
  • Thread the pork onto skewers, leaving a little space between cubes. Grill over the highest heat possible, or broil on high, for 2 to 5 minutes, then flip the skewers and continue cooking until the meat is browned all over and charred in spots. It should be just cooked through: A little pink is OK, but there shouldn't be any red spots.
  • Serve the pork with cilantro sprigs and onion slices on top, and lime wedges on the side for squeezing.

FENNEL SEED SPIKED PORK ROAST



Fennel Seed Spiked Pork Roast image

I have often served a fennel salad with a pork chop, and decided: let's kick it up a notch. Thus the birth of this dish. Roast for 40 minutes per pound.

Provided by wsf

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Roast Recipes

Time 5h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons fennel seed
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
5 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons ouzo
1 (8 pound) fresh Boston butt pork roast
2 large onions, thickly sliced
1 fennel bulb, sliced thickly
water as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Toast the fennel seed, rosemary, thyme, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium-low heat until strongly fragrant and the fennel seeds are lightly browned, 1 to 3 minutes. Do not let the spices burn! Place the toasted spices, sea salt, garlic, and ouzo into a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, and grind to a paste. Score the fat layer of the pork roast with a sharp knife; rub the spice paste all over the roast.
  • Spread the sliced onions and fennel into the bottom of a large roasting pan; pour enough water into the pan to just cover the vegetables. Place the roast on top of the onions and fennel with the fat layer facing upward.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until the pork is tender, 5 to 6 hours (or about 40 minutes per pound). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 185 degrees F (85 degrees C). Add extra water if needed during roasting to prevent the onions and fennel from burning.
