It's lovely roasted with some olive oil, black pepper etc. Or eat raw finely sliced or saute in a pan with butter. Drool! Slather!

Ooh, roasted fennel is loverly, try roasting it with other veg, sweet potato, parsnips, tatties, carrots, garlic all go well. Even my cat loves roasted fennel!

Cut it in quarters, steam them, cover with thick white sauce, springle with your fav. cheese and bake. Also try them together with cauliflower or / and broccoli.
