Absolutely! Fennel is such a versatile vegetable. Here are a few recipes you might enjoy:
Fennel and Potato Gratin: Slice fennel and potatoes thinly, layer them in a baking dish, and alternate with cheese ( Gruyère works well). Pour over some cream mixed with garlic and thyme, then bake until golden and bubbly.
Fennel and Citrus Salad with Avocado: Slice fennel and mix with segments of orange and grapefruit. Add sliced avocado, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and crushed red pepper for a refreshing salad.
Braised Fennel: Cut fennel bulbs into wedges and sauté in a pan with a bit of olive oil. Add vegetable or chicken broth and a splash of white wine, cover, and let it simmer until the fennel is tender. Finish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill.
Fennel Slaw: Shred fennel and mix it with shredded cabbage and carrots. Toss it in a dressing made of cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard for a crunchy side dish.
Roasted Fennel and Carrots: Cut fennel and carrots into similar-sized pieces, toss them with olive oil, salt, and herbs, and roast them until caramelized. You can add a sprinkle of parmesan before serving for extra flavor.
I hope these ideas inspire you to cook with fennel! Enjoy!
