Serves: 6
INGREDIENTS
1 large fennel bulb, cut into thick wedges
2 large onions, thickly sliced

METHOD
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature on fan bake.
Place the vegetables and wine in a large roasting dish and season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the flesh side of the pork with the ground fennel, salt and pepper. Place on top of the vegetables and rub the skin with the olive oil then sprinkle with sea salt.
