Steamed Fennel With Dill Recipes

FENNEL AND ORANGES STEAMED IN FOIL

Steps:

• 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. Place on the grill over low heat and let it steam until the fennel is tender, about 35 to 45 minutes. Serve with the pork.

STEAMED MUSSELS WITH FENNEL AND TOMATO

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic and fennel; cook until just soft and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add the carrots and season with salt and pepper; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are just soft, about 4 minutes. Add the vermouth and boil to reduce slightly. Add the tomatoes and tarragon, then cover the pot and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup water and the mussels. Raise the heat to high, cover and cook until the mussels open, 3 to 5 minutes. (Check halfway through and transfer any open mussels to a serving bowl.) Transfer all the mussels to a serving bowl, discarding any that do not open. Season the sauce with pepper and, if needed, salt, and pour over the mussels. Serve with the bread.
