Not sure I agree that something else is needed. In fact, I'd skip the
carrots. One of my favorite cookbooks, "Great Food Without Fuss," has
a boneless pork roast recipe that I've enjoyed several times. It's
nothing more than a paste of garlic, fennel seeds, olive oil, salt and
pepper, rubbed all over (in and out) a boneless pork rib roast. Quite
delicious. I don't have much experience with using fresh fennel bulb
but I would expect your idea to work fine. -aem
