Ingredients

For the recipe:
  • 2 fennel bulbs
  • 1tsp organic sea salt - more or less to taste
  • ¼tsp organic cinnamon
  • ¼tsp organic nutmeg, freshly grated
  • ½tsp organic black pepper, freshly ground
  • 200ml organic full fat milk
  • 120ml organic double cream
  • 1tsp organic sugar

This is an unusual, but great, Italian style vegetable that goes well with roast chicken.
Serves 4

Method

01
Clean the fennel, remove bruised parts and the stalks. Blanch in boiling salted water for 3 minutes, then drain and cut each bulb in half.
02
Put the spices and 150ml of milk in a pan and add the fennel. Cover and cook over a gentle heat for 20 minutes, or until tender. Add more milk if the fennel looks dry and turn it around to ensure it is cooked all over. At the end of cooking there should be no liquid left.
03
Pour over the cream and add the sugar. Stir gently and cook for 5 minutes.
