Simply Sauted Fennel

Do you know?
Fennel is an ideal food for people trying to lose weight as it is filling and low in calories. It is a good source of potassium, fiber, folate, iron and calcium. Its leaves are a good source of bete carotene. It is much more nutritious than celery and its distinctive licorice flavour is an asset to a variety of dishes.







Here's a simple fennel recipe.

Ingredients:
12 medium Round fennel knobs
2 Garlic cloves
1/2 cup Olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
3/4 cup Water

Method:
Remove and disgard all the bruised and tough parts of the fennel and cut into 4-6 wedges. Wash throughly. Place garlic and oil in a large skillet and saute until the garlic is browned. Remove garlic and add the fennel, season with small amounts of salt and pepper and saute for approximately 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add water and cook over moderate heat, tightly covered, for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Uncover the skillet and let the liquid evaporate and the fenel acquire a nice golden tone.

Serve hot.
