    Fresh fennel and orange is the ultimate summer salade. Stems go in my bouillon, plantparts on fish. Mmm!

    Leaving the fennel in cold water for an hour or so also lightens the liqrice taste. A simple side dish would be to have the fennel thinny sliced (vertically) and tossed with oil, salt et pepper with a few leaves tossed in for garnish. Very tasty!!

    Other useful tips to protect your garden without using pesticides: Blend water and mace or other super spicy pepper. Then, spray it on your plants. It doesn't hurt most plants but insects hate it. You have to reapply it after it rains. You can also buy carnivorous ladybugs (the ones who eat larves) and release them on your garden. They eat all the larve and leave once all the larve are gone.

      MrBeatboxmasta bit of soapy water sprayed on brassicas: aphids loath it,
      Take your kids out to the local park to catch spiders and mantises, release em in backyard for many recuring years of natural insecticidal predators,
      Grow geraniums between your edible plants, impossible to kill, nothing eats them, and their soapy smell repels just about everything

    New subcriber here, thank you for this interesting and informative video. I've been wanting to try fennel for some time but had no idea how to prepare it. I followed your prep advice and made a wonderful fennel and orange salad last to go with broiled sockeye salmon and it was a hit! You deserve many many more subscribers, love your channel : )

    I'm not a big fan of licorice, so this wouldn't work for me raw. I do however, slice it thin and add it to my pan when I'm braising chicken thighs. Sometimes I add diced tomato, carrot & onion - which are all pureed after. Braised Chix thighs or pork, with homemade mashed potatoes & gravy, along with the puree. It's comfort food to me - ughh, so much for my diet! 😅

    The leaves can be dried and use for tea... all parts of the fennel is good.... rich in magnesium, potassium.... good for cold, gas, colic in baby etc...

    Fennel is my fave replacement for celery in stews, adds better texture & adds a subtle flavour that goes with meat very well

    • @albuseisenhorn3385
      @albuseisenhorn3385 2 роки тому +1

      use the stalks for stock/soup (often woody and not fun to eat) the fronds can be used in a similar prep to dill (chopping etc.) really the only part that you toss is the very bottom with the root which you could technically also use for stock

    • @albuseisenhorn3385
      @albuseisenhorn3385 2 роки тому +2

      he means fibrous so its very difficult to chew - can use that for stock since you remove it after all its nutrients and flavour has been released

    Every Italian I know would stop watching your class here. You are throwing away the fronds that are aromatic of your fruit which makes as good as parsley and dill, or any green herb. Go back to school and learn about fennel..

    • @albuseisenhorn3385
      @albuseisenhorn3385 2 роки тому +1

      for raw use which is what he said, no its not. in your imaginary restaurant you'd keep the rest for stock or long cooking (works in your home too)

      @Skoben2000 5 років тому +3

      He did show the prep work. The video is called how to PREPARE fennel. He showed that. Do you mean how to COOK fennel? He gave some ideas but this is how the vegetable is prepped to get it ready for cooking if you're going to cook it.
