We’ve marinated pork chops with garlic, paprika, thyme, lemon and fennel seeds before roasting with new potatoes and olives. It’s so simple but really packs a punch!

Anchovy-stuffed olives have a strong flavour that works well with pork’s sweetness. If you prefer something more mellow, go for unstuffed olives.
