Grilled Fennel, anyone? Fennel has a very distinct licorice flavor BUT when it's grilled it becomes a tender, melt-in-your-mouth experience you surely don't want to miss.
Ingredients:
- Fennel
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
How to Make It:
Trim the tops off the fennel. The stringy parts on the fennel can be used as an herb in your cooking, but aren’t needed for this recipe. You can even use the stalks in place of celery in some recipes, but realize they’ll have a much stronger flavor than celery.
Trim the bottom of the bulb and then cut the remaining bulb lengthwise into quarters. Rub with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Place on grill at medium heat to sear the fennel. Move to indirect heat, with the cut side up, and cook covered for about 45 minutes or until fennel is very soft. You can tell when it’s done by texture, rather than time. You definitely want to make sure it’s tender.
This could not be any easier or more wonderful. I love fennel and I usually have it raw but it looks great grilled too.

ReplyDeleteI've never had fennel grilled or not. I'm not a fan of licorice flavor though unless they are Red Vines, lol
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this. A friend of mine said that fennel is a good 'pre-digestive' so you're supposed to have some prior to eating a meal.
ReplyDeleteThat looks delectable!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I've ever tried Fennel before, it looks pretty good on the grill like that.
ReplyDeleteDoes it lose the licorice flavoring after being grilled?

ReplyDeleteSo the licorice goes away when you grill the fennel? I can't stand licorice and have never enjoyed fennel because of it.
