• Toss fennel with enough dressing to coat, then season with salt and pepper.

FENNEL SLAW SALAD

Steps:

• Place raisins in a small dish cover with the juice of the orange and 2 to 3 tablespoons hot water. Plump and soften the raisins for 5 minutes.
• Combine fennel, raddichio, scallions, and parsley in a bowl. Add plumped raisins in juice and the pine nuts to the salad and toss with balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil to lightly coat the slaw. Season salad with coarse salt and pepper, to your taste.

FENNEL SLAW

Steps:

• Make dressing:
• Toast fennel and anise seeds in a dry heavy skillet over moderate heat, shaking occasionally, until lightly browned, then cool. Coarsely grind fennel and anise seeds in grinder. Whisk together ground seeds and remaining dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
• Make slaw:
• Halve fennel bulbs lengthwise, then cut out and discard cores. Thinly slice fennel crosswise and toss with lemon juice in a very large bowl. Finely chop enough fennel fronds to measure 1/4 cup and add to sliced fennel.
• Quarter cabbage and cut out and discard core. Thinly slice cabbage crosswise and add to fennel along with carrot, onion, parsley, and dressing and toss well. Chill, covered, at least 1 hour to allow flavors to develop.

FENNEL SLAW

Steps:

• Cut the fennel (Anise) bulbs in half and remove the core. Shave on a mandoline or in a food processor. Cut the red onion in half, tip to root, and shave half moons the same way.
• Combine the vegetables in a bowl and add the chopped, fresh dill.
• With a mortar and pestle, smash the garlic with salt and pepper, adding the honey, vinegar and oil slowly. I like the pear-infused white balsamic vinegar. The rice wine vinegar is sweeter, so you might add more honey with the balsamic.
• When well combined, drizzle over vegetables, toss well and chill for at least 1 hour (if you have the time), to wilt onions slightly.
• Check seasoning.
• I serve this in a bowl with warm lentils in the bottom, crispy fish (Salmon or Rockfish) on the lentils and the slaw on top. Comfort food at its best.

• Just before serving, stir in reserved fronds and sprinkle sun-dried tomatoes and parsley over slaw.
• What to drink:
• Chateau Reynella McLaren Vale Grenache '04

• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.

FRAGRANT PORK WITH FENNEL SLAW

Steps:

• Rub the pork with the lemon zest and fennel seeds, then heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Brown the chops for 3 mins on each side, then remove from the heat. Splash over half the lemon juice, season, then leave to rest while you make the salad.
• Mix together the sliced fennel, apple, onion, mayo mix and nuts. Season with black pepper and squeeze in the remaining lemon juice to taste. Serve the pork with the pan juices spooned over, and the fennel slaw on the side. Great with jacket potatoes.

WARM FENNEL SLAW WITH BACON

Steps:

• Trim the stems and leaves from the fennel bulbs. Chop and reserve two tablespoons of the leaves. Discard the stems. Quarter and shred the fennel bulbs by hand or on the fine slicing disk of a food processor. Put the fennel in a bowl.
• Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a heavy skillet, add the bacon and saute over medium heat until the bacon is golden. Pour the contents of the skillet through a strainer into a heatproof bowl. Spread the pieces of bacon on absorbent paper.
• Add the vinegar to the skillet and heat briefly, then stir in the mustard. Return the reserved bacon fat to the pan and add the remaining olive oil. Season to taste with pepper.
• Pour the dressing over the fennel, add the chopped leaves and the chives and serve at once. For convenience, the dressing and fennel can be prepared in advance. Wait until just before serving to reheat the dressing, then toss it with the fennel.
