  Fantastic!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I made this dish for my girlfriend and her five year old son along with some chicken marsala. This was a huge hit. All... three of us went back for more. It was a little watery, but a slotted spoon as mentioned in a previous review took care of that. The flavor was fantastic! I had only tried raw fennel previously and did not really care for the flavor, but having it cooked like this completely changed my mind. I would reccommend this for anyone looking for a little something different but very tasty.Read more

  A wonderful surprise

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I was surprised at how well onions, carrots and fennel tasted together. I did not have dill, but it was delicious without it.... My family, including 3 college kids, loved this veggie dish. I will surely make this again.Read more

  I have never used Fennel before

  Rated: 2 stars out of 5

  I organize a produce co-op in my area and I have tons of fresh foods-I get "paid" in extra produce. I had frozen dill, green... onions, jumbo carrots, fennel and giant onions-great use of the stuff in my fridge. I personally love licorice and had a hard time taking the first bite-the smell was so strong. I know that athe recipe said braised but for some reason I kept waiting for it to carmelize. I think this combo would go great in a crockpot with a beef roast. I have not yet fed it to my family but I do not have very high hopes. I am trying to decide if I can freeze it and bring it out next time I make a roast. Doretta Maryville, IL communityhelpingscoop.comRead more

  Great New Side Dish

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This is the first time I tried or cooked fennel. I expected that the licorice flavor was going to be intense, but that was... not the case. The combination of the carrots, onions and fennel balanced the dish well. I accompanied the side with catfish and it was a great success! Thank you Rachel. This side dish is going to be a saple in my home.Read more

  Absolutely DELISH side dish!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  We made this as a side dish for Thanksgiving Dinner last year and were absolutely thrilled. We could not find fennel and... substituted fresh brussell sprouts with GREAT results. We made it again later with just the carrots and onions for a particularly picky relative, again with rave results. Dished with a slotted spoon to alleviate the water issue. The light herb blend and braising make this a fantastic side dish for very flavorful main dishes.Read more

  Worth A Try

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  We liked this recipe, because it was something differant. But I felt it was a little bland. Maybe because I used dried... herbs to finish it? I think that cutting the fennel thin would help, as the recipe gives you a choice. Thicker are a little tougher to eat. I think next time I make this I will add a clove of minced garlic, and maybe some lemon zest to make the flavors pop. Maybe use butter instead of oil also?Read more
