Summer is really here, so I got a ton of stuff from the CSA, just as Dwayne and Brice were coming to visit, and we were going to Connecticut for Sita’s wedding.
I love fennel! First tasted it when I lived in Zaandam- a common vegetable in many meals, at least with the Dutch family I lived with. It showed up roasted with chicken or pot roast-equivalent; sauteed with olive oil as a side; as an omelet ingredient, etc. Basically, most everywhere an American would put a baby potato, red pepper, or carrot (also, often, leeks replaced onions and nutmeg replaced black pepper). You can also pickle fennel with a few orange or lemon slices.
