Fennel Two Ways with Prawns by U. Larosa

Fennel is one of those ingredients that not many people use as they find it boring, but it is very fresh and nutritious. I even use it in my stir fry and soups.
SHOT 1: You need one fennel, a few prawns (cooked or raw, fresh or frozen), butter, balsamic vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.

SHOT 2: Cook your prawns in olive oil (1 tablespoon), make sure that they turn pink-orange (that’s the sign that they are cooked). Do not over cook them; 10 minutes should be enough.



SHOT 3: With a peeler you can cut the fennel into small strips and make a salad with a bit of oil and balsamic vinegar. Then cut the fennel that is left over in slices.




SHOT 4: Grill the fennel in a frying pan with a bit of butter and if necessary 2 table spoons of water to soften the fennel while it cooks.





SHOT 5: Serve the salad with the prawns on top and with the grilled fennel. This makes a perfect starter and can be served cold so you can prepare it in advance if you have people around for dinner…fennel is good for you!!!
