In this week’s organic Bountiful Baskets order, we received fennel. I’ve never actually cooked fennel, so I decided to go with a simple roasting preparation. Munchkin wasn’t overly fond of the texture, but she liked the flavor. For her, I would probably slice the fennel a little thinner which would help with the texture aspect that she didn’t enjoy. I served the fennel with a chicken breast seasoned with salt & pepper and then sauteed in a vidalia onion sauce.
