I’ve been trying to think about some new vegetables that I could introduce into my family’s diet. We eat quite a bit of fruits and veggies and it is starting to get hard to come up with something new. One vegetable I’ve been considering giving a try is fennel. I love the way it smells and have had it in a salad at a restaurant before. Unfortunately I have no idea how to prepare it and have thus avoided buying it.

I’m ready cook up this delicious recipe. By the way, is there anything I should look for in picking a good fennel? I’m assuming that I should look for firm leaves and no discolorations.

Do you happen to have a great fennel recipe? It doesn’t have to be a salad, I hear it is also pretty good cooked.
