Going through my Silverspoon cook book I have come across quite a few recipes that use Fennel. I have tried these ones and found them to be good. Let me know if any of these sound good to you and I'll give you the recipe. It also goes well with fish in various recipes...
Chicken breasts and Fennel au gratin
cream of fennel soup with smoked salmon
Eggs with fennel and mozzerella
Fennel with walnuts and orange
fennel with white wine
fried fennel
ziti with sausage onions and fennel
This recipe calls for olive oil, salt and pepper. That's it.
That's why I love Italian cooking. Simplicity at its best.
What type of dressing should I use if I eat it raw?
Let me know how you liked it. One thing I found about fennel is that I am not particuarly fond of it. But, I have, and will, continue to keep an open mind about it. The best way I like it is very basic. Just fry it with garlic and olive oil. It seems to mellow out the strong anice flavor and it sweetens up like fried cabbage does. But, then again, I like anything fried in garlic and olive oil.I think I will give that a try. Wegman's has small bags of blood oranges this week. Sounds like a perfect combo!
Thanks!
