Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 fennel bulbs (1 3/4 pounds total), trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges, plus fronds for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (1 tablespoon)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons pomegranate juice
2 tablespoons finely shredded mint
2 tablespoons finely chopped toasted hazelnuts
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over high; add olive oil and fennel in a single layer (work in batches, if needed). Season with salt and pepper; cook until browned, 2 minutes a side. Add garlic, orange juice, broth, and pomegranate juice. Bring to a boil; cover and simmer, turning once, until tender, 8 minutes. Uncover; cook on high until liquid is syrupy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool 5 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with mint, fennel fronds, hazelnuts, and pomegranate seeds.

I'm not a huge fan of fennel, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The fennel was still a bit too strong for my taste, but the pomegranate molasses helped to balance it out. I served it with rice and it was a decent meal.

This recipe was easy to follow and the fennel turned out great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still delicious. I served it with roasted potatoes and it was a hearty and satisfying meal.

This recipe was a disaster! The fennel was tough and the pomegranate molasses was way too sweet. I served it with rice and it was a complete waste of time. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The fennel was tender, but I found the pomegranate molasses to be a bit too sweet. I served it with chicken and it was a decent meal, but I don't think I'll be making it again.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more spices or herbs. I also found that the fennel was a bit too tough, even after braising it for the recommended time. I served it with roasted vegetables and it was an okay meal.

I love fennel, and this recipe is a great way to cook it. The braising process makes the fennel tender and flavorful, and the pomegranate molasses adds a nice touch of sweetness. I served it with grilled fish and it was a perfect meal.

5 stars! This recipe was easy to follow and the fennel turned out perfectly. I used a combination of red and yellow fennel, and the colors were beautiful. The pomegranate molasses added a nice touch of sweetness and tartness.

This recipe was a delightful surprise! The fennel and pomegranate flavors complemented each other perfectly, and the braising process made the fennel tender and flavorful. I served it over rice, and it was a hit with my family.
