I love fennel, but I generally hate anise. Go figure. Fennel is, traditionally, a folk remedy for gastric woes, colic and upset stomaches. This recipe is one of my favorites, though fennel’s season is so short in this area that I miss preparing it during much of the year.
Braised Fennel
Gently braised in broth, and topped with basil, this fennel is tender and makes a delicious side dish for pork or beef.

- 6 fennel bulbs trimmed, cored and quartered
- 1 bunch basil chopped

So, it’s December. And the kids have parties. And there’s a holiday party at work. And cookie swaps. [ad]

I’m sure you’re at your MAX when it comes to powdered sugar, flour, and buttercream. And I’m sure you have another party tomorrow, too.
.
So, make something healthy(ish)! That beautiful blend of nourishment and festivity. We love the coconut pumpkin bars.

You start first with an oat-pecan shortbread, and then blend up a gorgeously pumpkin filling spiced with cinnamon, ginger and just a splash of @so_delicious Coconutmilk Holiday Nog. .
Toss it in the oven, and bake until set. Then slice up the bars, too then with some dreamy So Delicious CocoWhip and a sprinkle of candied ginger. EASY!

I find roasted fennel the best. It is also great in a salad thinly shaved with oranges and olives and a simple lemon juice olive oil dressing. Recently I saw a pesto with the fennel fronds and pine nuts. Need to try it the next time I am throwing away the fronds.
I love fennel, and this looks like a great way to serve it. Mine usually ends up in salads. I’m very curious what you paired it with – I would probably end up putting it with some roast chicken (perfect in terms of collaborative effort) – but that’s my age-old standby.
