Cooking Directions

• STEP 4.Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the fennel with butter and milk hot as a side dish.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to choose fresh fennel bulbs that are firm and have a bright green color.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon of flour to the melted butter before adding the fennel slices.
• For a touch of freshness, garnish the dish with chopped parsley or dill before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the fennel in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of milk to prevent it from drying out.
• Serve the fennel with butter and milk as a side dish alongside roasted chicken, grilled steak, or as a vegetarian main with a side of crusty bread.
