Braised Fennel

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350F.

2. 2

   Trim the fennel, removing leaves and stems.

3. 3

   Cut the bulbs into quarters.

4. 4

   Heat the oil in a saute pan large enough to hold the fennel in one layer and brown the cut sides of the fennel very thoroughly over medium-low heat until the fennel has begun to caramelize and soften.

5. 5

   This will take at least 15 minutes.

6. 6

   Put the fennel in a casserole large enough to hold it in one layer.

7. 7

   Bring the stock to a boil, season it with a little salt and pepper, and pour it over the fennel.

8. 8

   Cover the pan loosely with foil and braise the fennel until it is quite soft, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
