I worked on this one for some time.. but don't really like it.. I hope some of you do, I almost didn't release it..

Here is my sample layout, I must have done this too quickly since I messed up the recipe, so if you like, I have the text version which is not missing any ingredients.  The correct recipe is right below..

This looks yummy to me.. hugs Rainy

Braised Fennel 

INGREDIENTS

2 large fennel bulbs, 

rinsed clean

4 Tbsp butter

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 cup vegetable stock

1/2 cup water

2 Tbsp ouzo, or any 

anise-flavored liqueur

2 Tbsp chopped fennel fronds

Zest from 1 orange

Lemon juice

METHOD

1 Cut the tops off the fennel bulbs, chop

 2 tablespoons of the fronds and set aside. 

Slice the fennel bulbs in half, lengthwise, 

through the core. Slice each half lengthwise 

into quarters (you should get eight pieces 

total out of each fennel bulb), leaving some 

of the core attached so the pieces don't 

fall apart as they cook.

2 Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over 

medium-high heat and place the fennel pieces 

in the pan in a single layer. Reduce the heat 

to medium and cook the fennel pieces, without 

moving them, for at least 2 minutes. Sprinkle 

the salt and sugar over the fennel (the sugar 

will help with caramelization). Check for 

browning, and cook for another minute or two 

if they're not browned yet. Turn the fennel 

pieces over and brown the other side.

3 When both sides of the fennel are nicely 

browned, add the ouzo to the pan. Increase 

the heat to medium high. The ouzo should boil 

down quickly. When it is almost gone, add the 

stock and water.

4 Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the 

heat down to low, cover the pan and simmer for 

15 minutes. Remove the cover, increase the heat 

to high and let the stock cook down until it 

is a glaze. Add the fennel fronds and most of 

the orange zest and combine gently.

5 Serve garnished with the rest of the zest and 

a few splashes of lemon juice.
