      Yep! Fennel anti-inflammatory tea! Some just use dried fennel seeds and strain but fresh is always best and packed full of more anti-oxidants, nutrients, etc.

    Thanks for this informative video! I grew up on a farm in the South, and so I thought I knew practically everything about every vegetable -- but fennel wasn't around when I was a kid, and yesterday I saw it in the supermarket and decided that I should finally figure out what one does with it.

    2:18 What do you mean there is not much you can do with the stalk? The stalks are perfectly edible!
    You can cut them diagonally about 1/4 inch thick and saute the stalks in some olive oil with other vegetables.
    You could grill them too, or simply cut them real thin and add them to a salad.

    • @estherrivers6164

  • @robinbutler7863
    @robinbutler7863 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I make a root veggie dish with fennel, I chunk up sweet potato, purple sweet potatoes parsnips, carrots, onion, yukon gold potatoes, japanese yams, that are so so good, also chunk up some sweet apples like fuji apples and chunk up your fennel bulb, then make a sauce to drizzle over the top which is 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, and 1/2 cup a nice oil such as avacoda oil or a grape seed oil, or a vegetable oil works also wisk all together and drizzle over the top and gently toss through and bake covered for 30 minutes and uncover to continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, I even gently fry some smoked sausage and chunk that up and toss it in and bake it all together and oh my what a very tasty dish. A must try.P.S. chunk up two fennel bulbs, its the best flavor ever. Bake it in a cake dish or a roaster pan with a lid. Whoever gives this a try, Hope you enjoy it.( I usually find the Japanese Yams in the organic section at you grocery store.)

  • @davemould8261
    @davemould8261 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Always check the base of the bulbs before purchasing from stores, as sometimes the base is not complete, but has gaps in it.
    These can sometimes hide “nasties” inside the layers as they can be quite wide gaps.
    Try roasting with toms and peppers with chicken....very tasty....great vids.

    My favorite food. I have been living on this salad for months now since discovering this video. Prior to this, i had a lifelong love of greek salad. This is better. If i could choose one food forever it would be this. Imagine greek salad with extra sweet, and more garlic. And you don't even slightly miss the cheese. Damn this salad!!!

    Thank you for this video. I can't believe I am 67 years old and have never eating fresh fennel. What have I been waiting for? I love fresh fruits and veggies and I would definitely eat that salad you made. I do love fennel seeds. I use them my homemade turkey breakfast sausage recipe and I have been thinking about growing fennel in my garden. I see fresh fennel in my local farmers market all the time so now I'm going to have to buy some and try making the salad.

    I just discovered fennel today; fresh from a farm. I LOVED IT! Ate it all (bulb and stem) like a carrot.
    So delicious! Now a new 'Go-to' veggie in the produce department!
    Great recipe; I look forward to making that salad!

  • @Chocoholiclady66
    @Chocoholiclady66 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The stalks can be added and used to make stock/broth. Just toss in a bag with other veggie scraps in freezer until have enough and ready to make stock/broth, can be stir fried, etc. They are perfectly edible although best cooked until tender rather than eating raw due to woody. Can chop up thin or shred and freeze in small portions to add a bit to stews and soups also.

    It was amazing.
    But I’ll wait till tomorrow morning to see what sort of night I have after this.
    I have many food intolerances and MCAS so lemons are high in histamine. So here’s hoping.

    If the stalks of fennel are missing at the store it's usually because they've wilted because it sat there for too long. And don't throw them away, if they're fresh just cut them in wheels and they add a nice crunch to salads, almost like fennel-tasting croûtons.

    • @schnook11
      @schnook11 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, the stalks are great to use. I work in fine dining; I have seen them used by our chef as a fennel marmalade, or cut up and pickled. The marmalade was great with lamb.

    blanch the fennel in boiling salted water for a few minutes. drain. get a frying pan....add some olive oil and garlic, add the fennel to the pan. season with salt and pepper. then add a handful of sugar and a tablespoon of white wine vinegar. keep cooking until the sugar and vinegar almost becomes a syrup. then your fennel is ready. this recips is Italian sweet and sour fennel. goes great with grilled sea bass.

The brown spots won’t matter if you replanting while I grow the roots I find I end up peeling the putter layer anyways when the sprouts start to grow from the scraps .
