This is an easy way to cook fennel bulbs. Pan-fried fennel tastes great and you don't need a lot of seasoning as fennel has so much flavor on its own, which just intensifies while cooking. Sprinkle fennel greens on top before serving for even more flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fennel bulbs , sliced, green tops reserved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil , or as needed
- salt to taste
- 1 pinch lemon pepper , or to taste
Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Lay some fennel slices in a single layer in the pan; cook until nicely browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and lemon pepper. Remove from pan. Add another tablespoon oil and layer in the next batch of fennel slices and cook the same way. Repeat with remaining oil and fennel. Serve sprinkled with fennel greens.

Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup
This hearty sweet and sour cabbage soup is my version of an old favorite Ashkenazi Jewish recipe. I make a stock first, then make the soup. This allows for de-fatting the soup, but you need to make this on two days, so time accordingly. Using savoy cabbage gives the soup superlative texture and flavor.
Mom's Sweet Buttermilk Corn Bread
This corn bread is a little on the sweet side. It's made with white cornmeal, but yellow works too. I learned to make it from my other mom (MIL). It is baked in a cast-iron skillet. Can be used to make stuffing or put leftovers in a cup with milk and put it in the fridge overnight for a comforting breakfast.
