Fennel is delicious on its own. Its bulb can be enjoyed raw or braised, as in this recipe, where we sautéed wedges, combined them with chicken broth, apricots and curry powder, and then cooked them until the vegetables were tender. Fennel's anise-flavoured fronds can be used as an herb. Fennel can also take on a caramelized, almost sweet flavour, making for a wonderful side dish.
