Fennel
Anyone who really knows me knows I go gaga over Fennel. The first time I tried this herb/root vegetable was the day I decided to make a home made Cioppino. I noticed the wow that the fennel gave the dish and have been in love with it ever sense.
Fennel is great in salad. My favorite is a mixture of thinly sliced fennel, mandarin oranges and fresh oranges, thinly sliced red onion, the green parts of the fennel bulb, and a fresh balsamic vinaigrette.
All I can say is D-Lish!
So this early spring, I would say March I started seedling's under my grow lights. I have harvested about 6 bulbs of fennel so far and I have these left in my last bed. I can not wait to try them.
Fennel is also good in a Ratatouille dish, or grilled with olive oil salt and pepper.
