  I made this with leeks instead of onions. It was really yummy and really easy.

  Really tasty dish, the pork was so tender and juicy. The fennel wasn't too aniseedy which was very pleasant lol! The main fennel flavour came from the fennel seeds that coated the pork. Only change we made was using pork chops with the bone in and cooked them for longer before adding to the oven as they were large chops. Really good portion sizes too.

  There is something I do not understand: does the meat go in only for the last 10 minutes (point 3)? Or is in in point 2, instead of the potatoes (which otherwise would have to be added twice...) Thanks!

  This is a real comfort food dish. I had no fennel seed and so substituted dill seed which was quite acceptable. I also added a little low cal. creme fraiche. It all went well, though perhaps next time I shall put the fennel in halfway through as it did get a bit mushy, and flash the steaks under the grill. Nevertheless, my husband says please may we have this again!!

  I did like this dish, but like Rose, I also found that my fennel and potatoes went a little bit mushy. Would do again, but roast the potatoes for a little while before adding the liquid and fennel.

  Sorry but we didn't like this one. It is a very simple dish to make but all you could taste was the lemon!
