   serves 4

4 pork chops, bone in, c. 3/4 inches thick
1/4 cup Olive’s Oil
12 sage leaves
1 Tbs wild fennel seeds
salt
pepper
3-4 cloves garlic, halved or coarsley chopped
1/3 cup white wine


Wash and dry the pork chops, rub with a generous amount of salt and some pepper, and sprinkle with herbs and half the Olive’s Oil and let marinate.
Heat the rest of the Olive’s Oil in a sauté pan. To the pan add the meat with its oil, herbs and garlic from the marinade and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Flip the meat and cook for 5 minutes more.
Raise the heat slightly, flip the meat and cook for 2 minutes, and then flip the meat again, pour a 1/3 cup white wine over the meat and cook over medium-high heat until the meat has browned a bit and the wine has boiled off.
Transfer the meat to a serving platter, drizzle the sauce over the meat and serve.
