Ingredients
1 Tbsp. freshly ground black pepper, see intro
450 g pork fillet
2 tsp. vegetable oil
1 medium fennel bulb, cut into 8 wedges
200 g sauerkraut
300 ml chicken stock
100 g crème fraîche
2 Tbsp. wholegrain mustard
Small handful parsley, leaves picked and roughly chopped
Directions
Step 1Scatter the pepper on to a board and roll the pork fillet in it to coat. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or casserole dish (that has a lid) over medium heat. Brown the pork fillet all over and return to the board.
Step 2Add the fennel to the pan and cook for 5min, or until turning golden. Add the sauerkraut and stock; lay the pork on top. Bring to the boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20min, or until the pork is cooked through.
Step 3Remove the pork to a clean board, cover with foil and leave to rest until needed. Add the crème fraîche and mustard to the dish and simmer for 10min, until reduced. Check seasoning.
Step 4Slice the pork and return to the dish, along with any resting juices. Scatter over the parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, if you like.
