FABULOUS FENNEL
sarah
While essentially a braising method; It can also go from the top of the stove to the table, or you can add the cheese and then bake it for a bit.
ingredients
- Use small fennel bulbs, about 1/4 per person.
- Cut off most of the tops, and dice down from the remaining top to quarter.
- Try to keep the quarters intact – cool look.
- 1 small onion
- 3-4 tbsps oil or butter
- 1/4 cup diced prosciutto
- salt and pepper
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup chicken stock
- Grated emmenthal and/or parmesan
directions
- 1
Fry a small onion, chopped, in oil and butter.
- 2
Add the diced prosciutto (or ignore this).
- 3
Add salt and pepper as desired.
- 4
Add the fennel bulb quarters and brown a bit.
- 5
Then add the chicken stock and cook fennel until tender (15 minutes or so) at low heat.
- 6
Top with some grated cheese and bake to melt if desired.
notes
Especially good with turkey and chicken, but also good vegetarian if you leave out the ham.
