48. Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced fennel bulb, crushed fennel seeds, and garlic, stir to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the fennel is tender but not brown, stirring often. Remove the pan from the heat and deglaze with Pernod. Add heavy cream and puree the mixture. Strain and let steep about 20 minutes.
