Fennel Bulb Uses

My wife slices it very thin on the mandolin and sautés in olive oil, adds some kale, then avocado, toasted pine nuts, and parm-reg. Then a little garlic vinaigrette. It’s delicious.

- cioppino
- mussels with fennel. I've had them cooked in both a tomato type broth and a cream wine broth. Both were good, might have liked the cream best.
- Bouillabaisse also usually has fennel
