Ingredients

2 Garlic cloves halved
1 tablespoon Fennel seeds
1 can Tomato sauce
2 Pork Chops
Olive Oil
Salt
Black Pepper

Instructions

Pat dry the pork chops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side (time depends on the thickness) in a very hot pan drizzled with olive oil.
Remove the pork chops from the pan, season with salt and pepper on each side and set them aside.
In the same pan add some more olive oil and the garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, then add the fennel seeds and the tomato sauce.
Season with salt and pepper and add a pinch of sugar if the tomato sauce is too acidic. Turn down the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes. If it reduces too much, add a few tablespoons of water.
When the sauce is ready, remove the garlic and add the pork chops and cook a couple of minutes more. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure the pork chops and sauce are completely cooled before sealing and refrigerating.
