Grilled Lemon-Fennel Pork
"Originally intended for a tenderloin, I have moved to make this with boneless chops as they are more readily available."

3-4
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil, olive
- 2 teaspoons anise extract or 2 teaspoons Pernod
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
- 1 teaspoon lemon peel, grated
- 3⁄4 teaspoon pepper, black, cracked
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, kosher, corsa
- 3⁄4 - 1 lb pork
directions
- In a small bowl, stir together oil, liquer or extract, and lemon juice.
- Stir in shallots, fennel seeds, lemon peel, pepper, and salt.
- Rub mixture over all sides of pork; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate up to 2 hours.
- Cook on a medium-high grill about 4-6 inches away from heat/coals.
- Grill 15-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145, turning once.
- Let stand 10 minutes before serving to allow juices to settle (this would need to be if a tenderloin was used- not so much if chops are used).

A lovely spice rub - the sweet flavours of the fennel and anise bring out a nuttiness in the pork that's delightful. Smells heavenly cooking!

My mother encouraged my love of food - creating and enjoying a wide variety of things. My acupuncturist taught me the spiritual and healing world of foods. I strive to share that blended concept with all who may sit at my table.
