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.

BRAISED FENNEL WITH PARMESAN



Braised Fennel With Parmesan image

Via Deborah Madison, a very simple and quite delicious treatment of fennel which is a wonderful accompaniment to pork or grilled fish.

Provided by Chef Kate

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil or a combo, plus extra for greasing the baking dish)
2 -3 bulbs fennel, trimmed
salt and pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
parsley (and or or fennel greens)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F
  • Rub a baking dish large enough to hold the fennel in a single layer with butter.
  • Slice the fennel bulbs in half or quarters lengthwise and steam the fennel over simmering water for 10 minutes, then arrange in the dish.
  • Dot with butter or drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and add the wine or water. Cover and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the cover, baste the fennel with its juice, then add the cheese and continue baking uncovered until the fennel is completely tender, about 10 minutes more.
  • Serve garnished with chopped fennel greens or parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fennel: Look for firm, white fennel bulbs with no blemishes or bruises.
  • Slice the fennel thinly: This will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the dressing.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even slices of fennel.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the fennel will steam instead of roast.
  • Roast the fennel until it is tender: The fennel should be tender but still have a slight crunch to it.
  • Serve the fennel immediately: Fennel is best served warm, so serve it immediately after roasting.

Conclusion:

Sliced fennel with Parmesan is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a meal or as a snack. The fennel is roasted until tender and then tossed with Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice. This dish is a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of fennel and is a healthy and easy addition to any meal.
