Ideas for Cooking from 2nd year intern Maggie
Fennel can be baked, steamed, or sauteed with excellent results. The leaves can be used as an herb or seasoning. Try using in place of dill. Fennel is excellent on baked or broiled fish with butter and lemon.
Storage tips:
Fennel will save in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Wrap the leaves in a damp towel and refrigerate.
Fennel’s mild licorice flavor pairs really nicely with oranges and roasted beets.
