Can't wait to try this! Quick question- I hate fennel. like, hate. If I leave it out, would it totally ruin the dish? Any substitution recommendations?
Mich, perhaps you should try fennel again. Like our mothers always said, "one day you might like it." Perhaps your taste buds have changed with your growing bump?
So, while watching barefoot contessa at the gym today, there was a caller that said verbatim what michi said up top--about hating fennel. Here is what contessa suggested: cut top off fennel bulb, cut bottom core out, cut in slices, put on baking sheet, drizzle with evoo, bake for 30 minutes at 350. She said it gets a great caramelized flavor. Sprinkle with a little salt and Parm.
