Braised fennel in tangy broth with white wine and orange juice, topped with fresh fronds for a simple yet elegant side dish.
Ingredients:
  • 2 medium fennel bulbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 medium orange, zested and juiced
  • salt to taste
Instructions:
  • Separate the green stalks from the white fennel bulbs and trim off the brown base. Reserve some fronds for garnishing. Cut each bulb into 8 wedges by halving them four times. Set aside 2 tablespoons of chopped fronds for later use.
  • In a medium heat pan, melt butter. Place fennel wedges flat-side down and cook for 3 minutes until browned. Flip and continue to cook for 2 more minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Allow the wine to reduce by half before adding chicken broth and orange juice.
  • Lower the heat to medium, cover the pot, and let the fennel simmer until very tender for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Place the fennel on a serving dish. Season with a touch of salt and top with vibrant orange zest and fresh fennel fronds for a visually appealing and flavorful finish.
