How does fennel actually taste?
Some people say fennel has a kind of liquorice flavor. I find it has a slight liquorice flavor but nothing overly so. Try not to use the stalks, just the tender bulbs.
And when baked, fennel is just out of this world, devastatingly delicious.
Cut fennel
washing and cleaning. Cut off the stems and save the tender greens. I only use the stems on very young plants, otherwise I find them too hard and tough.
Cut the bulb in half lengthwise and then into narrow wedges so that the segments are held together by the stalk.
I only remove the inner stalk when I make a salad out of it. Use immediately or store covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
