Fennel
Honeydew and Fennel Salad With Basil
If you have a perfectly ripe melon—great! If you don’t, no worries. The salt, acid, and a bit of heat here will give life to lackluster specimens.
Shaved Fennel Salad with Plums
A beautifully simple salad.
Grilled Fennel
Make sure to peel away the outermost layer from the fennel bulb; it’s tough and fibrous and won’t be good grilled.
Endive and Fennel Gratin
The liquid will not submerge the endive at first, and that’s okay. Take the gratin out of the oven after 10 minutes and press down with a spatula to submerge the endive in cream.
Slow-Roasted Char with Fennel Salad
Slow-roasting fish is to cooking seafood what bumper lanes are to bowling: the definition of foolproof—and still pretty fun.
Roasted Carrots and Red Onions With Fennel and Mint
Toasting the seeds and nuts in oil forms the base of a complex vinaigrette.
Crunchy Winter-Vegetable Salad
The mix of lettuces and crisp vegetables is up to you (and we recommend a mandoline for slicing).
Indian-Spiced Fennel Pickles
Consider the crunch: You want to choose a vegetable that’s naturally firm, like fennel. The fresher it is, the crisper it will stay.
Apple-Fennel Chicken Salad
You know what most chicken salads are missing? Crunch. Not this one!
Snapper Escabèche with Fennel, Radish, and Dill
Because it’s so delicate, the flesh can break down when marinated first, sometimes causing the fish to fall apart. A post-grill bath delivers flavor without compromising texture.
Grilled Clams with Fennel-Tarragon Butter
When you toss hot clams right off the grill with some flavored butter, the butter melts and mingles with the clam liquor, creating an irresistible combination.
The Troy Monson
Yes, you can use regular oranges, but don’t you just love the color you get from blood oranges?!
Rib Eye with Slow-Roasted Fennel and Steamed Broccolini
The same technique and proportions will work for a pork chop, lamb chops, or any other steak you like.
Pomegranate-and-Fennel-Glazed Rack of Lamb
Two racks make enough for each person to have two lamb chops for this recipe. Cut between each bone individually for single chops, or cut into double-rib portions.
Spiced Jasmine Rice Pilaf
Turmeric or cinnamon? Nuts or raisins? The players may change, but the fundamentals of fluffy, fragrant jasmine rice pilaf are always the same.
Five-Spice Nuts with Soy Sauce and Sesame
Store the finished nuts in an air-tight container to prevent stickiness.
Fennel, Celery, and Pomegranate Salad
A palate-cleansing fennel salad to balance rich pork and hearty sides.
Celery and Fennel Salad
This light, fresh salad is made even crunchier with a sprinkling of pine nuts.
