Pork Chops with Fennel
Fennel is one of my absolute favorite vegetables because it’s flavor profile makes it incredibly versatile.ย It’s licorice flavor mellows a bit when cooked and pairs so beautifully with the pork.ย ย These pork chops are tender, juicy and packed so much flavor thanks to the combo of fennel and juniper seeds.
If you’re looking for a really tasty side dish I highly recommend this shaved Brussels sprouts and apple salad.ย You could also roasted up some broccolini or potatoes, and some roasted apples on top would also be a really delish addition!
If you have trouble finding juniper berries, click here to buy them online.ย Juniper berries are tart with a bit of a piney flavor and hint of citrus.ย You’ll find they’re used a lot to cut through the “gamey” flavor of meat like bison and venison.ย Because they’re really flavor forward, a little goes a long way!
