Braised Fennel with Apricot and Figs

Share on FacebookShare on PinterestShare on Twitter

Ingredients

  • 2 medium fennel bulbs (fronds removed)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp seasoned or black pepper
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 10-12 dried apricots
  • 8-10 dried figs, cut in half
  • 1/8 – 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped (optional)

Directions

Have you tried fennel before? It has a licorice flavor but once it’s cooked long and slow the licorice flavor is toned down and it becomes sweet with a deep rich flavor. Enjoy!

xoxo,

Kristin

 

  1. Cut each fennel bulb in half, length wise, and slice each half in 3 pieces. Season with salt and pepper on both sides
  2. In a large deep skillet, heat olive oil. Arrange fennel pieces (you can crowd the pan because fennel will shrink). Cook over medium heat, 5 minutes on each side. Add orange juice, wine, apricots and figs and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes
  3. Garnish with pistachios (if using).
