as a person who loves to cook, i love trying new ingredients. when i was at the farmer's market the other day, i came across some fennel - thought i've enjoyed it several times, i've never cooked it myself. i figured i could probably handle it, so i purchased the bulb and headed home. not sure what to do with it, i watched {this youtube video} about how to clean it and then googled some recipes for inspiration.
this is what i came up with:
1 fennel bulb, cut into 1/3 inch strips horizontally
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp grated parmesan
1 tbsp fennel fronds, chopped
salt & pepper
preheat oven to 400
1. drizzle baking sheet with 1/2 tbsp of oil and arrange fennel.
2. drizzle fennel with remaining olive oil and season with parmesan, salt and pepper.
3. bake for approximately 35 minutes until fennel is tender.
4. remove from over and sprinkle with chopped fronds.
this makes a simply delicious side dish for two, or you can use it atop a salad or mixed into pasta or couscous. yum!
bon appetit!
