Say "Hi!" to Fennel! I've never seen, cooked or eaten it before. It's not common in Russia, and it's hard to find it in a store. Fennel has a definite aroma of anise (think licorice) and a corresponding sweetish taste. My mom tasted my baked fennel and she described it as a mixture of celery and zucchini!
This is how to cook it:
Wash the fennel and dry it with a towel. Cut in thin slices and put the slices into a pan and fry for a few minutes. Then add cream and sour cream and stir until evenly blended. Shift this mixture into a deep baking dish. Sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese over the top. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and tender.
Serve immediately.

I've been wanting to try fennel, but wasn't sure how to prepare it. Thanks!
