Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 bulbs fennel, untrimmed
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
2 tablespoons dried bread crumbs
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse fennel. Trim off stems, and reserve about 1 cup of the tender green leaves. Trim any bruises or dry looking areas from fennel. Cut each bulb in half from stem through root end.
  • Lay fennel bulb pieces in a 10 inch frying pan, and add broth. Cover, and bring to a boil on high heat. Simmer until fennel is tender when pierced, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer fennel to a shallow casserole, 9 to 10 inched wide; lay cut side up.
  • Boil broth, uncovered, on high heat until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Stir in about half the fennel leaves. Spoon mixture evenly over fennel.
  • Mash cheese with bread crumbs. Dot mixture evenly over fennel. If making ahead, cover and chill up to 1 day. Also wrap remaining fennel leaves in a towel, seal in a plastic bag, and chill.
  • Bake casserole, uncovered, at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until cheese begins to brown and fennel is hot, about 20 minutes. Tuck remaining leaves around fennel. Season to taste with salt.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. The fennel was not very flavorful and the gorgonzola did not add much flavor either. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The fennel was cooked well and the gorgonzola was flavorful, but the combination was a bit overwhelming for me.
