Braised Fennel and Carrots

Netta Belle’s Choice® Braised Fennel and Carrots

Fennel

Fennel has a flavor of anise, a mild licorice taste. In many of the grocery stores it is sold as anise. Fennel can be eaten raw in salads with vegetables or fruits, cooked by braising, sauteing, stir-frying, steaming, or roasting. It is an excellent source of Vitamin C, dietary fiber, potassium, manganese and folate. The seeds are used in sausage, meat loaf, tomato sauces and bread. The seeds make a nice flavor to a fruit salad with the mild licorice taste.

Carrots

Carrots, a versatile vegetable, are good to snack raw or even in a cake for dessert. Carrots are in salads, side dishes, stews, soups and roasts. They have a sweet taste, particularly when cooked in any variety of techniques as in Braised Fennel and Carrots. Vitamin A is the highest nutrient in carrots, along with vitamin K, dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium, manganese as well as smaller percentages of vitamin B6, B3, B1, B2 and E.
