So I made this carrot and fennel soup... I took the tops of a dozen fennel the other day and instead of tossing them. i took them home with me.. I have been trying to find different ways to use the fennel top.. Plus, as I am on lock down, it's one of the only green things I have... So, I have make a fennel pesto, a fennel pesto marinade, fennel salad.. Last night, I made fennel and carrot soup and this morning I made fennel simple syrup and fennel caramel. I plan on making fennel top falafel tomorrow,
So here is the soup.. Carrot, onion, fennel tops, a half a fennel, homemade turkey stock.. I added a bit of fennel simple syrup and some curry at the end.
Whoops, i guess an apple too:
Roasted, purred and ran through a fine Chinois.
Made a simple beer bread:
Baked for an hour.. Poured hot butter over it, added fennel syrup/caramel and butter to a hot slice
A little scoop of cream fraiche and some cayenne.
