Ingredients

1 pound medium asparagus, trimmed and peeled

1 large fennel bulb

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 red onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, smashed

2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves 

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

4 ounces Gorgonzola, crumbled

Directions

  1. 1. Slice the asparagus spears diagonally into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Cut the fennel in half and remove the tough inner core. Separate the layers and then cut each layer into long thin strips.
  2. 2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fennel and onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the asparagus and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender yet firm, about 8 minutes. Stir in the thyme and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and crumble the gorgonzola over top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This was so delicious. Fennel is a new ingredient for me.  I did not know until recently how mild a flavor it is. I roasted the vegetables instead of sauteeing them for about 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven. I used goat cheese instead of gorgonzola, but otherwise followed the recipe, and the result was wonderful. I could make a meal of just this dish! I think it would be equally good with broccoli or cauliflower, so I'll be trying that soon.
