Fennel, one of the oldest cultivated herbs was valued greatly by the Ancient Romans but found throughout the Mediterranean region. In Medieval times it was considered a sacred herb that was hung from the ceiling to bring good luck, and put in keyholes to keep out evil spirits. And in the early days of America’s settlement the Puritans would use this flavorful herb as an appetite suppressant during fasting periods.
The combination of pork and fennel is very common in Italian cooking, the hint of orange adds a little zest. The fusion of all these ingredients blended together creates a bountiful burst of flavor in every bite!
