BRAISED PORK WITH FENNEL (SLOW COOKER)
Similar to sauerbraten without the overnight marinating. Pork maybe sliced in chunks or shredded before serving with sauce. I serve with boiled potatoes and steamed carrots.

Steps:
- 1. Slice off root end of fennel and discard. Slice bulb and some of the green stems and leaves. Save some of the feathery leaves for garnish.
- 2. In a large, heavy skillet, sear the pork in the oil over medium-high heat until it's brown all over, about 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to the slow cooker.
- 3. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Sauté the onion and fennel until just a little golden. Transfer them to the slow cooker.
- 4. In a small bowl, mix together the vinegar and sugar. Pour the mixture over the pork. Add the tomatoes.
- 5. In a bowl, mix together the broth and bouillon until the bouillon dissolves. Stir in the garlic, thyme, and red pepper. Pour this over the pork.
- 6. Cover the slow cooker, and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- 7. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a serving platter. Using a slotted spoon, scoop out the vegetables and pile them around the pork. Cover the platter with foil and put it in a warm place.
- 8. Turn slow cooker to high and stir cornstarch mixture into liquid and heat until thickened slightly. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if needed.
- 9. Chop some of the fennel leaves and sprinkle over roast and veggies. Slice meat and serve with sauce.
