Step 1: Preparing Your Mise en Place
  • 1 medium fennel bulb
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 small shallot
Method

Cut off the top and trim the bottom of the fennel. Then cut it in half widthwise and then in half again. Remove the core, so that the fennel falls apart. Slice the fennel into about 1/4" -inch strips.

Émincé the garlic and émincé the shallot lengthwise.


Step 2: Cooking the Fennel
  • sea salt, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon (juice of)
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Method

To cook the fennel, gather the olive oil and lemon. Preheat a large fry pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil, followed by the fennel and a good pinch of salt. Toss to combine and let cook for a few minutes. As the fennel cooks and starts to color, toss occasionally until it starts to caramelize. Then add the shallots, stir together and continue to cook until the fennel softens a bit more, about 3 to 5 minutes.

If the pan seems to be getting too brown before the fennel has cooked through, just add a touch of water. Once the fennel has caramelized and softened, but still has a bit of crunch, add the garlic and let cook for another 30 seconds or so. Then turn off the heat and deglaze with the lemon juice. Taste for seasoning and serve immediately.
