Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 chicken bouillon cube
5 pork chops
6 large potatoes, peeled and sliced thickly
2 tsp crushed fennel seeds
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp curry powder, optional

Steps:

1. Choose an oven dish that is big enough to take the meat and the potatoes.
2. Start by placing all the sliced onions at the bottom of the dish, spread them all across the dish so that they'll form a nice first layer.
3. Crush the chicken cube or cut it into small pieces and sprinkle all over the onions.
4. Add the meat by putting all the pork chops on top of the onions.
5. Sprinkle the seasonings over the meat.
6. Add all the potatoes and place on top of the meat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper.
7. Add water from the sides of the dish so as not to wash away the spices. Add enough water so that the onions and meat are covered with water.
8. Roast in moderate oven for some 2 and a half hours. For the first hour, cover the dish in tin foil. After that, remove the foil so that the potatoes will eventually become crusty and golden brown.
