Fennel has a sweet flavour and this braised recipe is delicious and goes perfect with a Sunday roast.
2 large fennel bulbs, rinsed clean
2 tbsp butter
Pinch salt
1 tsp sugar
150g vegetable stock
120ml cup water
1 tsp orange juice
Freshly ground black pepper
Fresh parsley to serve
Slice the fennel bulbs in half and then into quarter leaving a lot of the stem on.
Heat the butter in a saucepan over a medium to high heat. Add the fennel and cook for about 4 minutes.
Add the salt and the sugar. Cook until they are just turning brown.
Pour in the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the temperature and allow it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add the orange juice and leave to simmer until most of the stock has been absorbed.
Remove the fennels and put into a serving bowl. Spoon over a little of the stock and season with the black pepper.
Garnish with the parsley before serving.
