1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Season pork well.
2. In a medium casserole dish, heat oil and butter on high. Cook pork for 6 minutes, turning on all sides, until brown. Remove from pan.
3. Add pancetta, onion and garlic to pan, then cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in oregano, fennel and paprika, cooking for 1 minute. Pour in wine to deglaze pan. Mix in tomatoes and passata.
