[Food] Fennel what to do with it ?

[CHAPPERS]

Sliced in a roasting tray with some plain bangers, hasselback potatoes, garlic and parmesan.

 

[Dolph Ins]

I use it in fish soups and fish stews.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Make a fancy coleslaw with it, serve with fat meaty burgers, and chunky, salty chips.

Now, THAT sounds nice

(I'll just leave the fennel coleslaw alone)

Just had 2 fennel turned up in a fruit and veggie box... I don’t think I have ever eaten fennel before.

What can I do with it??

Simple suggestions please.. receipe suggestions and not where I can stick it [MENTION=28934]AmexRuislip[/MENTION].

Morning Andy
Try roasting it with either other veg or with fish (sea bass), or make it into soup

 

[AmexRuislip]

Straight in the BIN, obviously

I'm suprised [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] has given you a to above, as I thought he was a vegetarian or even a fruitarian

Beat me to it.

Also very nice substituting cold roast chicken for the burger.

Cut into thick strips and sauté in butter

Goes well with white fish

And chop up the 'leaves' for a risotto.

The Brighton Sausage Shop is delivering, so you could get some of their Italian style fennel & pork sausages.

Have them on a bed of cheesy polenta - make a well in that, then add a mound of thinly sliced fennel sautéed with garlic and halved cherry tomatoes. Line your bangers up on top of that and add some steamed broccoli spears if you fancy something green (or buttery kale)

If you can get your hands on it, then cut into quarters and roasted with pork is very good. Along with onions, potatoes and any other vey you fancy, spash of white wine, little bit of stock, stops it from drying out and creates a nice sauce (cover the pan if it starts to dry out during the roasting).

Agree with others that it is good in salad, but needs to be very finely sliced - it's solid stuff and you don't want big chunks of it raw.

I like it as I am a fan of the aniseed.

I used it thinly sliced as the base for a risotto last week. Sweated it down slowly before adding the rice. It was lovely, hardly tasted of fennel at all

..... and therein lies the reason it was lovely!
