Fennel


Testing a new recipe this morning. Sautéed snapper with orange-fennel salad. Can’t wait to try it! 

Fennel is a bulb with feathery fronds and a mild licorice flavor which is widely used in Italy, where it’s eaten raw and salted as well as cooked. It pairs especially well with fish.

When you buy fennel, you should look for small, heavy, white fennel bulbs that are firm and free of cracks. The stalks should be crisp with feathery, bright green fronds. You can store fennel bulbs in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to five days. 

We will add this recipe to a menu in the upcoming weeks!
