- 4 cups sliced fennel bulb (about 2 bulbs)
- 3 1/2 cups thinly sliced onion (about 2 large)
- 8 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 ounces)
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided

- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add fennel and onion; saute 8 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; saute 2 minutes. Spoon fennel mixture into a large bowl.
- Place flour in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Dredge pork in flour, shaking off excess. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add half of pork mixture; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook 6 minutes, browning on all sides. Add browned pork to fennel mixture. Repeat procedure with remaining pork mixture, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
- Add wine to pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in pork mixture, broth, herbes de Provence, and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes or until pork is just tender.
- Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and olives. Simmer 10 minutes or until pork is tender and sauce is thick. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
