Marinated Pork with Caramelized Fennel

Directions

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first nine ingredients; add pork. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
• Place fennel in a large bowl; drizzle with 4-1/2 teaspoons oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Transfer to an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 450° for 30-35 minutes or until tender, stirring once.
• Meanwhile, drain and discard marinade. In a large ovenproof skillet, brown pork in remaining oil on all sides. Place skillet in oven; bake pork for 18-22 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145°.
• Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted fennel. Garnish with fennel fronds if desired.
