Fried Fennel

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Slice the fennel bulbs lengthwise into pieces about 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) thick.
  2. Drop the fennel slices into boiling water and cook for about 6 minutes. Drain thoroughly and pat dry on paper towels.
  3. Beat the eggs with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl.
  4. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the rosemary.
  5. Dredge the fennel slices first in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly so it adheres well.
  6. Fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides.
  7. Remove the slices with kitchen tongs and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  8. The fried fennel is ready to serve.
