I have heaps of the stuff overtaking my veggie patch in the gaarden. I usually aute it with onions & garlic then add breadcrums to stuff chicken breasts or pork loin before roasting.

Unless used as the focal dish it was just an accompanying vegetable and the favourite method of preparation was:- Halve or quarter bulb and boil until al dente. Drain well then cover with bechamel sauce with added chopped dill. Sprinkle with parmesan and sweet paprika and pop under grill for a few minutes.pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13243082511493665845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-2668699164219383302008-08-28T21:02:00.000+03:002008-08-28T21:02:00.000+03:00Fennel is such an under-used friend in the kitchen...Fennel is such an under-used friend in the kitchen.
