One of my favorite things to do with fennel is to trim it up as one would
do with celery, then braise it in some well seasoned chicken stock until
very "crisp/tender". Let cool in broth, then make a mild vinaigrette with
some added fresh garlic. Assemble the fennell, some anchovie filets, and
some roasted red pepper strips, then dress it well with the vinaigrette and
chill. It can be an appetizer or salad.
