Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200 deg C Season the pork cutlets and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the apples, fennel and onions. Season with a little salt and pepper and toss with the olive oil, vinegar and wine (if using).
Place this vegetables into a baking dish and cook in the oven. (To achieve a nice caramelised texture mine took 35 mins).
At the 20 min mark, heat your pan on a high heat. Add a little olive oil and cook the pork cutlets-2 mins on each side.
Once seared, place them on top of your veggies (that are cooking in the oven) and finish them off for the last 10 mins.
Allow them to rest for 5 mins before serving with the veggies.
Notes
Be wary of the size and thickness of your cutlets. Mine were quite thick so I cooked them for a longer time in the oven. Adjust accordingly for the cutlets you use.
A little Dijon mustard on the side when serving makes this even more magical.
