1    teaspoon fresh ground pepper

2    cups white wine

 

In a small bowl, prepare a rub of garlic salt, pepper and Fennel seeds. Rub over both sides of chops and let stand 10 minutes.  Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Sear the chops on both sides.  Add the wine, cover and simmer till well done.

Harvest and preparation – For seeds, do not cut back or use the leaves.  Allow the plants to mature fully and form their seeds.  Collect the seed heads when they are turning brown.  Place in a paper bag with air holes and hang in a cool dry place.  After the seeds drop off, spread them out on a tray made of very fine wire mesh until they dry.

Store in an airtight container and use as needed.
