Braised fennel

Babiche Martens

Fennel is simple and beautiful slow-cooked with garlic and lemon. It's the perfect accompaniment to my roast pork with limes and garlic. Follow them both up with mini pavlovas with date cream and fruit.

Ingredients

2	Fennel bulbs (Main)
2 Tbsp	Olive oil
2	Garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp	grated lemon zest

Directions

1. Slice the fennel bulbs in half lengthways then slice thinly.
2. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Turn to low, add fennel, garlic and lemon zest. Cook for 30 minutes until slightly caramelised.
