Fennel

Fennel grows on top of the soil, did you know that? I didn't, not before this year! Our fennel bulbs were each anchored by a huge root that I had to cut through with a knife when it was time to harvest this week.
It's like a leafy ship sailing in a sea of dirt!


We cut these in half (frond to root) and braised them, following the instructions of Abra Berens in her wonderful new cookbook Ruffage (2019, Chronicle Books). Delicious!
