Pork with Fennel

Sunday 21 September
There are so many herbs trying to overgrow each other out in the garden that we have a hard time deciding which ones to use next.  
The fact that we had some thick cuts off a pork tenderloin inspired us to choose two: we patted them with thyme leaves, and crisped some sage leaves in oil and butter to top them off.  (The medallions themselves pan-fried in the sage-flavored oil, which only added to their savoriness). 

As a side dish, we sliced up a big fennel bulb and braised it in butter and wine.  Pork and fennel are BFFs.
