Andrea, I love fennel, but green beans not so much. I am going to try this! Thanks!

Hope you enjoy. You can definitely succeed with any vegetable or combination of vegetables.

As a Pitta/Vata- I'm wondering IF the fennel's diuretic quality will promote more drying for me. I've been battling dry eyes here in Wisconsin. Any quick thoughts?

Hi Lisa. Fennel is diuretic, but it is also estrogenic and moisturizing. It soothes burning and builds despite it's diuretic quality. Fennel is one of the few tridoshic vegetables, so I think you would be okay! For dry eyes, try using ghee or castor oil under and around the eye before bed. The oil will nourish as it penetrates through the skin around your eyes.

Andrea, I'm not sure about the taste of fennel in my vegetables.
I'm going to try this recipe, as well as your French lentil recipe, (the video where i found you.)
I love how detailed your instructions are.
You're relaxing to watch and listen to.
Thanks!

Thank you Elaine, Most people are not familiar with fennel bulb, unless they have a reason to try it. It isn't easy to incorporate new ingredients, but it is worth it! Fennel bulb has a really mild licorice flavor. If you buy some and have extra, I especially like it paired with tomato so that a tomato sauce or stew isn't so sour. -Andrea
