MEDITERRANEAN DELIGHT
THAT'S A WORTHY
COMPLEMENT TO ANY MEAL

fennel
Few vegetables boast
historical athletic notoriety; yet the
ancient Greek word for fennel was
marathon. Even today, the length
of a marathon (26.2 miles) dates
to 490 BC, when an Athenian raced
this span to tell of a Creek victory
in battle at Marathona city named
for its field of fennel. Today,
fennel makes a great addition to
anyone's dietdistance runner
or otherwise.
Sweet or Florence fennel is the
bulb you find for sale as a vegetable.
Wild fennel gives us the small, flat
spice seeds that flavor Mediterranean
and Indian dishes. It has a mild
licorice flavor and a texture similar
to celery. Fennel is packed with
vitamin C, potassium and dietary
fiber, plus phosphorus, magnesium,
calcium and folic acid.

When choosing fennel bulbs, look

for hard white or pale green bulbs
and firm green stalks topped with
feathery leaves. Then try the sniff
test: A sweet, spicy anise scent is
a sign of freshness. Limp stalks
indicate that the bulb has seen better
days. After the tough base and inner
core are removed, the striated bulb
can be chunked, diced or julienned
as desired.
Fennel bulbs, fronds and seeds are
all edible; try sprinkling the fronds or
seeds over a salad. Serve fennel raw,
steamed, braised or boiled, hot or
cold. Saute it in olive oil, and pair it
with lemon, black olives or seafood.
Puree fennel in a creamy soup with
butter or slice it thinly alongside
yogurt with oranges or mint leaves.
Now the next time you spot fennel
in the market, give it a trial run. D
