5 fennel bulbs, trimmed and sliced 1/4-inch thick

2 oranges, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick

6 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced

4 sprigs fresh thyme

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. Place the fennel onto the center of a large piece of aluminum foil. Squeeze the juice from the orange slices over the fennel and put the slices on top. Scatter over the garlic and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil over everything. Pull the sides of the foil up and seal.

I only knocked this down one star because the fennel bulbs are not easy to get. Like the juniper berries for the pork loin, they require a trip to a specility store. Probably not a problem in CA or New England, but for the rest of the world it's an added hassle. <br /> <br />How about a show where Tyler is dropped in the middle of nowhere America and has to provide a tasty, nutritious dish based only on what is locally available? <br /> <br />Personally, I don't like fennel, but this was still an excellent dish and easy to make. The most difficult part is acquiring the fennel.
