Preheat the oven to 200°C (approximately 400°F). Rinse the pork roast, pat dry and season generously on all sides with salt and pepper.

Roast pork in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes. Meanwhile rinse the tomatoes and cut in half. Trim fennel and cut into quarters. Peel the onions and cut into wide strips. Drain the olives and sun-dried tomatoes. 30 minutes before end of cooking, add the vegetables to the roasting pan, season with salt and pepper and continue cooking.
