I know I have said it before, but I love the mystery of having a weekly vegetable box delivered.
You just never know what is going to be inside.
Like on this occasion a little while ago, when I opened the box to find this beautiful fennel inside.
I decided to keep things simple. I washed and quartered the fennel…
Sautéed it in a little butter…
Then added some dried rosemary and a splash of balsamic vinegar for flavour.
Simmered (turning) until the fennel was tender, and the balsamic had reduced.
The result?
Soft, sticky, sweet fennel, that worked perfectly as a side dish to the other deliciousness on our plates.
Grilled haloumi, a spinach puree and a sweet potato with a little sour cream.
A random plate for sure – but a tasty one nonetheless!
What about you? Are you a fan of fennel?
oh I love how you kept this simple to really let the fennel shine- looks great!
ReplyDeleteWow - that meal looks amazing. A combination of all of my favourite foods. I really want to try fennel this way but also I would love to try it raw in a salad!

I haven't warmed to raw fennel but I have had some good experiences of cooked fennel - but I don't buy it often - your plate looks delicious
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, veggie heaven! I adore my mum's roasted fennel with rosemary, and now your take looks pretty good too!
ReplyDeleteLooks marvelous! I love fennel. I like using it in my Bolognese ragu, including it with the mirepoix of celery, onion, and carrot. So much flavor!
