Grilled Fennel with Parmesan and Lemon
This dish serves as the perfect side veggie to any meal like Chicken Francese, Baked Scallops, Shrimp or any steak.
When raw, it has a licorice-like taste that I’m not a fan of, but when you grill it, the flavor changes completely, and it has more of a mild taste like a bok choy. The charred edges, drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice and finished with shaved Parmigiano Reggiano is my new favorite way to prepare it. You can serve this as a side dish for four, or also have it as a warm salad for two. You can do this indoors on a grill pan or also make it outside on the grill. Some of the benefits of eating fennel include a high source of potassium, vitamin A, C and calcium.
