Tips

You can flavor the dish as you prefer: for a fresher taste, add minced mint at the end of cooking, or some lemon thyme. Use the spices you love most: in addition to pepper, you can flavor the fennel with sweet or spicy paprika, according to your tastes, or with fresh chilli. For the recipe, the most suitable olives are the black ones, which go well with the taste of oranges, but if you prefer, also use the more delicate green ones.

If you love fennel, try the recipe of baked fennel or fried fennel.

Preservation

We advise you to eat this tasty side dish immediately, to enjoy all its crunchiness: alternatively you can preserve it in the refrigerator, tightly closed in an airtight container.
