Ingredients

Servings: 6

1.5 kg Roast pork chops on the bone, without rind
7-10 Tbsp Salt
7-10 Tbsp Pepper
2-3 Branches of rosemary
6-8 Stem(s) Thyme
2 medium-sized onions
12 medium-sized, ripe tomatoes (about 1-1,2 kg)
3-4 Garlic cloves
1/2 bunch flat leaf parsley
1 dried bay leaf
1 untreated lemon
1 TEASPOON Fennel seeds
5 TABLESPOONS Olive oil

Directions

1
Wash the meat, dab dry and rub with salt and pepper. Wash the rosemary and thyme and dab dry. Peel and halve the onions. Put the meat and onions into the fat pan of the oven and add about 150 ml of water.
2
Add 1 sprig of rosemary and 2-3 thyme stems. Roast in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 2 hours. From time to time, cover the meat with frying stock and gradually add approx. 375 ml of hot water.
3
Wash the tomatoes and leave them whole or cut them in half, as desired. Peel and chop the garlic. Wash parsley and dab dry. Cut parsley leaves into strips. Chop remaining thyme and rosemary.
4
Crumble the laurel. Wash the lemon thoroughly, dab dry and grate the peel. Squeeze 1/2 lemon. Mix garlic, herbs, fennel seeds, lemon peel and juice. Stir in oil and season with pepper.
5
Spread the herb mixture over the meat approx. 30 minutes before the end of the frying time. Place the tomatoes in the fat pan. Remove the roast and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Remove meat from the bone and cut into thin slices.
6
Arrange on a deep plate with the stewed stock and tomatoes. Ciabatta bread tastes good with it.
