“When I was growing up, we used to rip fennel out of the garden, brush off the dirt and eat it straight from the ground. But cooking it with butter, milk and Parmigiano is a nice warming way of eating it.”
Ingredients
Method
Main
1.Place half the fennel in a large frying pan with butter over high heat and stir occasionally until just golden (5-7 minutes). Remove and repeat with remaining fennel, then return all fennel to pan and season to taste. Add milk and 80ml water, reduce heat to low and turn fennel occasionally until tender and sauce is reduced (8-12 minutes), then serve topped with Parmigiano-Reggiano.
