So good! Fennel cooked is completely different than raw flavors, so don't be skeptical. It is an easy and delicious recipe. (I didn't have orange juice so I substituted apple juice. It was still so great!)         Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/19/2012   This recipe has, for years now, been my go-to side dish to bring on Thanksgiving. I don't think anything goes nicer with turkey than braised fennel. And, so many people say "ewwww... I don't like fennel!". And then they try this. I've changed a lot of people's minds with this recipe and will make it for years more.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium bulbs fennel 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon sugar 1 or 2 cloves garlic, sliced thin 1/4 cup fresh orange juice 1 cup water Salt and freshly ground pepper Flat-leaf parsley leaves, as garnish

Directions

Trim the tops of the fennel bulbs; cut bulbs in half lengthwise.

Melt butter in a large iron skillet over medium heat. Add sugar and stir until melted. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add fennel, cut side down, and cook until well browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to let the fennel burn.

Turn over bulbs and add orange juice, water, and salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover pan and cook until fennel is soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 to 30 minutes. If the pan becomes dry during cooking, add a little more water. If any liquid is left at the end of the cooking time, continue to cook, uncovered, at medium heat until the liquid evaporates. Garnish with parsley leaves and serve immediately.
