To make the capsicum sauce, preheat grill on high. Place capsicum, skin-side up, on a baking tray. Cook under grill for 8 minutes or until charred and blistered. Transfer to a sealable plastic bag. Set aside for 10 minutes (this helps lift the skin). Peel the skin from capsicum and discard. Coarsely chop the flesh.
8 min - 2
Place the capsicum, garlic and tomato in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a medium saucepan. Add the stock and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the vinegar.
30 min - 3
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200°C. Cook the potato in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to the pan. Place over high heat and cook, shaking the pan, for 1 minute or until any moisture has evaporated.
15 min - 4
While the potato is cooking, pour the oil into a large roasting pan. Heat in oven for 5 minutes.
5 min - 5
Add the potato to the roasting pan and stir to coat. Roast for 20 minutes. Add the fennel to the pan. Roast for a further 20 minutes or until the potato is golden and fennel is tender.
40 min - 6
While the vegetables are roasting, preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill on high. Lightly spray both sides of the pork cutlets with olive oil spray. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on grill for 3-4 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest.
5 min - 7
Divide potato mixture among serving plates. Top with pork. Spoon over the capsicum sauce. Sprinkle with thyme to serve.
