Grilled Fennel on the BBQ (Anise in French) image

One of the most underutilized vegetables with its anise undertones, it's one of the few I love. A woman in the grocery today gave me her recipe for it on the barbecue.

This recipe is a great way to enjoy the unique flavor of fennel. The grilling process brings out the sweetness of the vegetable and the anise flavor is not as overpowering as it can be when fennel is cooked other ways.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The fennel was a bit too charred for my taste and the anise flavor was a bit too strong.

Grilled fennel is a fantastic way to enjoy this underrated vegetable. The smoky flavor from the grill pairs perfectly with the sweet and anise-like taste of the fennel. I served it as a side dish with grilled chicken and it was a hit!
