Coconut-garlic fennel is a simple yet flavorful dish that combines the sweet and slightly licorice-like taste of fennel with the rich, nutty flavors of coconut oil and the bold kick of garlic. With just a dash of salt, this recipe enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients, making it a delightful addition to any meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by washing the fennel bulb thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt.
- Trim off the green stalks and feathery fronds, setting them aside if you’d like to use them as a garnish later.
- Slice the fennel bulb in half lengthwise, then cut out the tough core.
- Slice the remaining fennel bulb into thin, even strips.
- Place a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the pan and allow it to melt and coat the bottom evenly.
- Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the sliced fennel to the pan in an even layer.
- Cook the fennel for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften and turn golden brown at the edges.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder evenly over the fennel, stirring to ensure each piece is well-coated.
- Add a dash of salt to taste, continuing to stir.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the garlic powder to integrate and the fennel to become tender and caramelized.
- Remove the pan from heat. Transfer the cooked fennel to a serving dish.
- Optionally, garnish with the reserved fennel fronds for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Serve the coconut-garlic fennel as a delicious side dish alongside your main course, or enjoy it on its own as a tasty and healthy snack.
Tips:
- Make sure to slice the fennel thinly for even cooking and the best texture.
- Use fresh garlic if available for a more robust flavor, about 1-2 cloves minced.
- Toasting the garlic powder slightly in the coconut oil before adding the fennel can enhance the dish’s flavor.
- If you prefer a milder garlic taste, reduce the garlic powder to half a teaspoon.
- Garnish with fennel fronds or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added freshness.
