Braised Fennel And Onion Pasta Sauce
Fennel is a delightful veggie tasting like licorice. If you use this over pasta you may want to thin it a bit with a bit of the pasta water. It is equally lovely as a side dish
Steps
To prepare the fennel trim the feathery leaves and the ouside hollow stalks.
You are now left with the fennel bulb.
Next trim off the hard bottom and cut a thin slice off one side of the fennel.
Lay it on the flat side and cut into thin slices.
Pour the oil in a skillet that has a lid.
Over medium heat saute the onion and cook until translucent about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and fennel cook stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
Add liquid , salt& pepper , cover and cook over medium low heat until the fennel is just tender.
About 10 minutes.
If the mixture is quite wet cook longer with the lid removed.
Stir in the herb& vinegar and adjust seasoning.
Serve over pasta or as a side vegetable dish.
