Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup sugar
8 cups water
1/4 cup kosher salt
1 (2-lb) pork loin
1 tsp olive oil
3 cups thinly sliced fennel (about 1 large bulb)
2 cups thinly sliced onion
4 garlic cloves, minced and divided
2 (14-oz) cans fat-free , less-sodium chicken broth, divided
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, divided
8 oz french bread or other firm white bread, torn into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup (1 oz) shredded fontina cheese
cooking spray
1 tbsp ground fennel seeds

Directions:

Combine sugar, water, and salt in a large bowl, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve. Add pork; cover and brine 2 hours to overnight in refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sliced fennel, onion, and 2 garlic cloves; cook until golden brown (about 20 minutes), stirring frequently. Add 1/4 cup broth; cook until liquid evaporates, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add remaining broth; bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
Combine bread and fennel mixture. Stir in cheese. Spoon mixture into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until golden brown.
While bread pudding bakes, rinse pork and pat dry. Combine fennel seeds, 2 garlic cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; rub evenly over pork.
Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan; cook 5 minutes, browning on all sides. Place skillet in oven; bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until a thermometer registers 140° (slightly pink). Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve bread pudding with pork.
