Fennel is one of those vegetables that you either love or hate. It has a mild licorice flavor. But, when cooked becomes very mild. Growing up and to this day my family just eats it raw as a digestive after dinner. Especially on Sundays after a heavier meal of pasta. This is a recipe I came across and revised to my liking. It's easy to double for a party or just as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
