Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • 2 medium fennel bulbs
  • 1 large shallot or onion, minced
  • salt
  • fresh ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 200 ml dry white wine
  • 60 ml extra virgin olive oil

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Pull off a bit of the green fuzzy fronds, chop coarsely and save. Cut stalks off at bulbs. If needed use them to fresh broth's flavor.
  • 2
    Peel outer fibers off bulbs with a paring knife. If outermost layer is dried or cracked remove completely.
  • 3
    Cut bulbs in half lenghwise. Be sure to cut thorough the core forming at point of wedges. Leave this attached or the fennel will fall apart.
  • 4
    Arrange in single layer in large pot. Slight overlap is ok. Pour on wine and oil. Sprinkle on seeds and shallot.
  • 5
    Bring to a gentle simmer, cover and cook 25 minutes. The fork should pierce the fennel but you should still feel slight resistance. Check after 15 minutes of cooking and add water if dry.
  • Ready !
