Braised Fennel in Butter Recipe

Instead of braised lamb, this is another braised recipe from Melinda Casady, co-owner and culinary educator for the Portland Culinary Workshop.

Serves 4-6 people.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fennel quartered and cored
• 4 Tablespoons butter
• 1 cup Chicken stock
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• salt to taste
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated fine

Instructions:

1. Heat the butter in a sauté pan or pan with high sides (enough room that the fennel is in a single layer), add fennel and coat with butter.
2. Add stock and lemon juice bring to a simmer and then turn heat to low with a lid.
3. Cook until tender but still holds its shape.
4. Remove cover and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and place under broiler until parmesan is golden brown.
