  • yield Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup golden raisins

  • 1/2 cup hot water

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

  • 28 red pearl onions (about 6 ounces), peeled

  • 2 medium bulbs fennel, halved lengthwise, cored, thinly sliced lengthwise, and fronds reserved

  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste

  • 1/2 cup white-wine vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons light-brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed

  • 2 pork tenderloins (1-pound each), trimmed and sliced crosswise into 1 1/4-inch-thick pieces

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, mix together raisins and hot water; set aside until plump.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and fennel; cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to coat. Add vinegar and sugar and continue cooking, stirring, until sugar has dissolved.

    In a large, clean skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper and add to skillet. Cook, turning once, until pork is just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  5. Step 5

    Add pork to skillet with onion mixture and turn to coat; transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately, garnished with reserved fennel fronds.

    When you featured this recipe on your show, you sprinkled fennel pollen over the pork before you served it and there was a question as where to buy fennel pollen. For people who donn n n n n n t have access to the store in NY, we sell it online at http://www.marxfoods.com/
