Fennel Pork Chops
  1. 1

    Sprinkle garlic salt on both sides of the pork chops so they are well covered; be generous, but do not overdo it.

  2. 2

    Pour a little olive oil or other cooking oil into a skillet.

  3. 3

    Put the pork chops in the frying pan and sprinkle fennel seeds on top of the pork chops, about 10 to 15 seeds per pork chop.

  4. 4

    Let the underside of the pork chops brown, then turn them over; once both sides are browned, flip them again.

  5. 5

    Pour the wine into the frying pan, cover, and reduce the heat.

  6. 6

    Simmer for 10 minutes and flip the pork chops over.

  7. 7

    Cover them again and let them simmer for another 10 minutes.

  8. 8

    Make sure the wine does not completely evaporate or the pork chops will burn; you may need to add a little more wine or water to the pan.
