Fennel Puree
From rottman 15 years agoIngredients
- 1 large fennel bulb, trimmed and cit into 1/2 inch slices shopping list
- coarse salt and white pepper shopping list
- 1 tb fennel seeds, toasted and tied in cheesecloth shopping list
- 1 cup water shopping list
- 2 tb unsalted butter shopping list
How to make it
- Put the fennel in a large skillet and season it with the salt and pepper. Bury the packet of seeds in the center of the skillet and pour in the water. Dot with the butter.
- Cut a round of parchment the size of your skillet and cut a hole i the center to release steam. Cover the fennel with the parchment and bring to a simmer ofver medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently until until the pan is just about dry and the fennel is very tender, about 40 minutes.
- Discard the packet of seeds. Puree the fennel in a food processor until very smooth. Check for aald and pepper.
- Serve.
- Authors note: Think of this side when you want a foil for fatty salmon or oily fish like mackerel.
- My notes: Rather than using a skillet and parchment, you can achieve the same ends with a pot and steamer.
