What can I do with the leftover fennel stalks?

tags:

Today I made the roasted fennel dish that David posted (excellent by the way) and now I have these nice looking stalks leftover. What can I do with these stalks? I would hate to just throw them away.

Fennel stalks pack a lot of flavour. They are great in salads, stocks and as a trivet for for fish!

Hope this helps.

David is right. Fennel stalks are great for putting under fish when steaming. You can also use them in seafood stock which can be frozen for later. Also you can use them in vegetable, chicken or beef stocks, but be mindful of the stronger flavor.

When I make David’s Pan roasted fennel recipe I always strip off the leafy ends and chop them up. Stored in a small bowl open on the counter I use the chopped fennel leaves as seasoning sprinkling on top of everything from salads to chicken and pork.
