Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 heads fennel
1 clove garlic, finely sliced
4 tablespoons butter
10 ounces vermouth (white wine also works)
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Remove any discolored parts of the fennel, then cut the tops off and slice finely, reserving the leaves.
  • I normally slice each fennel from the top to the root, into about 4 pieces, but its not that important.
  • You can slice them finer and more delicately if you like.
  • Literally throw all the ingredients except the reserved leaves into a baking dish.
  • Rip off a piece of parchment paper, run it under cold water and scrunch it up to make it soft.
  • Then place it snugly over and around the fennel, not the actual dish.
  • This bakes and steams the fennel at the same time--basically making it really tasty!
  • Cook in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until tender.
  • Scatter with the fennel leaves before serving.

BAKED FENNEL WITH PARMESAN



Baked Fennel with Parmesan image

A very simple but totally delicious dish. Fennel is baked with cream, creme fraiche and parmesan cheese. An ideal accompaniment to many tomato based italian dishes as the creaminess balances nicely with the tomato.

Provided by RUPERTLSSMITH

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 fennel bulbs
1 tablespoon butter
¾ cup half-and-half cream
¾ cup creme fraiche
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut the base off of the fennel bulbs, and cut a cone shape into the base to remove the core. You can see the core because it is whiter than the surrounding green. This is optional, but helps the fennel cook faster. Slice the fennel vertically (upright) into 1/4 inch thick slices.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fennel, and fry for about 5 minutes. Stir in the half-and-half and creme fraiche until well blended. Transfer to a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown and the fennel is tender enough to pierce with a fork.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fennel: Select firm, white fennel bulbs with no blemishes or bruises. The fronds should be bright green and fragrant.
  • Prepare the fennel: Trim the root end and any tough outer leaves from the fennel. Cut the fennel bulb in half lengthwise and remove the core.
  • Slice the fennel thinly: Use a sharp knife to slice the fennel bulb thinly, about 1/4-inch thick. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Season the fennel: Drizzle the fennel slices with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices.
  • Bake the fennel: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the fennel slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Add the ham and tomatoes: After the fennel has roasted for 20 minutes, add the ham and tomato slices to the baking sheet. Continue roasting for 5-10 minutes, or until the ham is heated through and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
  • Serve immediately: Fennel baked with ham and tomatoes is best served immediately, while it is still warm. It can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

Fennel baked with ham and tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The fennel is roasted until tender and slightly caramelized, while the ham and tomatoes add a savory and juicy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
