The fennel is sliced thin and sauteed in olive oil with chopped leeks, then finished with fresh lemon zest and a pat of butter. Goes well with braised meats. And I thought I didn't like fennel.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 fennel bulb, top removed cored and sliced thinly
1 large leek, tough greens removed cleaned and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon butter
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a medium sized skillet over medium heat; add fennel and cook, stirring occasionally until translucent, about 10 minutes.
2. Add leeks, season with salt and pepper, cook 5 minutes more,.
3. Stir in lemon zest and butter, adjust seasonings, serve.
