I make a yummy fresh fennel salad. I cut up fennel and apple, toss together with walnuts, crumble in some goats cheese and squeeze over a lemon. Really fresh and light
2 fennel bulbs, reserving few tbsp of its fronds for garnish
1 onion,chopped
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1-2 cups of vegetable stock (as per the consistency you desire)
salt and pepper to taste
Tips
* Replace butter with 1 tsp of olive oil and heavy cream with low fat/fat free milk for low calorie version
Method
1
Trim the fennel by removing the thin stalks and the thick base. Coarsely chop the bulbs. In a pan, heat the butter and stir in the onion and fennel together.
2
Cover and cook for 5-8 minutes.
3
The vegetables should be slightly crisp yet tender. Don't overcook them.
4
Transfer it to a food blender and puree them along with little stock to help in grinding, until smooth.
5
Pour it back in the saucepan along with the rest of the stock and cook for 1-2 minutes in low heat. Add the seasoning and the cream along with the reserved fronds.
Awesome ideas ladies. I'm going to make the soup with some home made organic spelt bread. I will also roast some with beetroot and make some of the salad suggestions from this thread an Onyx's other thread. No doubt I will also cook some with fish
I agree with fennel soup. Yummy! I also team fennel up with fish. I make up a quick parcel with sliced fennel at the bottom a bit of oil/salt/pepper & fish on top. 'seal' the bag & put it in the oven. The fish comes out steamed basically. I have protein & one serve of veg ready. If I can't be bothered I put my other veg in it. Look mum, no pots!!
