Vegan Endives à la Grecque/Fenouil à la Grecque
[Endive à la Grecque/Fennel Endive à la Grecque]
...I was actually quite happy when I realized that this recipe included both fennel and endive as I was having such a hard time finding either of those ingredients...
...but I finally found some fennel...
...Julia says to quarter or halve the endives or fennel lengthwise, wash under cold, running water, then proceed with the recipe. Simmering time is 30 to 40 minutes...which seems a bit extreme...
...and like all of these LÉGUMES À LA GRECOUE...you need to make a Vegan Court Bouillon
...and I'm doing the simmering in the outdoor kitchen as it's very hot here again...
...but I finished the sauce inside...
...and poured it over the fennel...
...it makes an attactive side dish...and it does smell a little bit like licorice...
...we served it with baked tofu, rice, green beans from the garden, and a carrot salad...we were neither ones really fans of this dish...it does taste like licorice/anise and we don't care for that flavor...but it isn't sweet here...which helps some...and it's also cold...as I think a hot licorice/anise dish sould be stronger...so although we will definitely not be making this again...it wasn't horrible...

Haha, cute that you won't make this dish again! I'm not a big fan of fennel either.....wonder why we don't care for it when mom loves licorice?? Love, K
