Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
Bunch of spring onions, cut into 2-centimeter (3/4-inch) pieces
1 fennel bulb, cut into thin wedges
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
Good pinch of Chinese five spice
2 thin boneless pork chops
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat half the oil in a frying pan and fry the spring onions and fennel for 5 to 6 minutes over a medium-high heat until they begin to soften and become golden. Add the spices and cook for a minute more, tossing the onions and fennel until coated, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Increase the heat and fry the chops for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until lovely and golden and nearly cooked through.
  • Return the spring onions and fennel to the pan with a splash of water and the vinegar. Bubble for 1 minute, then serve.
