Fennel with parmigiano and lemon is a simple yet elegant dish that showcases the natural flavors of these three ingredients.

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 fennel bulbs, fronds attached
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth
Grated rind and juice of 1 Meyer lemon
Sliced Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Trim the fennel and roughly chop 1 tablespoon of the fronds. Halve each bulb through the core, then cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add just enough oil to coat the pan. When hot, cook half the fennel, without moving, until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining fennel, adding more oil to the pan if needed.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the fennel, broth, lemon rind and juice and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, until tender, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Raise the heat to high and reduce the sauce until syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Fold the sauce and reserved fronds into the fennel and top with Parmesan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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:

  • To enhance the flavor of your fennel dish, consider grilling or roasting it. This technique caramelizes the natural sugars in the vegetable, resulting in a smoky and slightly sweet taste.
  • For a delightful variation, try marinating the fennel in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before cooking. This marinade will infuse the fennel with a burst of zesty and savory flavors.
  • If you're looking for a crispy and golden-brown finish, opt for pan-frying the fennel. Just be sure to use a non-stick pan and cook the fennel over medium heat to prevent burning.
  • To add a touch of sweetness and depth of flavor, consider adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to your fennel dish. This addition will complement the licorice-like flavor of the vegetable beautifully.
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to enhance the taste of your fennel. Some popular options include rosemary, thyme, oregano, cumin, and paprika.

Conclusion:

Fennel is a versatile and flavorful vegetable that can be prepared in a variety of ways to suit your taste preferences. Whether you choose to grill, roast, pan-fry, or braise it, fennel offers a unique and delicious culinary experience. With its slightly sweet and licorice-like flavor, fennel is a perfect addition to salads, soups, stews, and roasted vegetable platters. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful vegetable to add to your meal, give fennel a try. You won't be disappointed!
