<\/span>Braised Fennel and Leeks<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
Typically it\u2019s meat you\u2019ll be braising, but we stretched the parameters here for a lovely combination of two favorite bulb vegetables. When cooked slowly in a bit of wine and chicken stock, they take on silken textures and rich flavors. The braised fennel hangs on to a bit of its licorice-like tone, while most of the leeks\u2019 oniony taste converts to a slight sweetness.<\/span>
<\/div>Two preparation tips: First, like other vegetables, leeks come from the earth, but they don\u2019t like to let go of their beds, so be sure to wash them well; one small grain of dirt will feel like a boulder in your mouth. Second, when trimming leeks, discard roots and all but 2 inches of the green parts; leeks should be 6-8 inches trimmed.<\/span><\/div>\n
