BRAISED COLD FENNEL HEARTS VICTOR
The marinade here - a classic Sauce Victor, though ours is particularly bracing - is so all-purpose, we make it by the half gallon at Prune, in New York. But even at home, where you don't often go through two quarts of dressing a day, I'm pretty certain a solid two cups will not go to waste. If I were you, I'd start with sturdy lettuces, braised celery hearts, all the escaroles and chicories and hardy greens, then see what you think of it on all the crucifers, well boiled, drained and chilled. I often save the pooled dressing after the fennel is removed - another real cook's treat - and drown my toast, lentils, bulgur or fregole pasta in it. You might like to, also.

Steps:
- Remove big, fibrous outer stalks of each head of fennel until you reveal the next tier of white fennel. Trim the tops, then wash thoroughly.
- Place fennel heads in pan and cover with chicken broth. Scatter with peppercorns and bay leaves. Season with salt gently. (The fennel itself has some salinity.)
- Cover with parchment and foil, and bring to a simmer on the stove top. Lower heat to barest flame possible, and let braise for 15 or 20 minutes until soft and tender when you pierce deep into the base with a blade or skewer.
- Remove seal, and lift cooked fennel out onto a drying rack set over a sheet pan to fully drain and cool.
- When they are cool enough to handle, pull off any of the tough remaining outer layers to reveal the tender hearts.
- Stir together the anchovies, garlic, chile flakes, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Make the marinade bright, assertive and bracing. Marinate the fennel hearts for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Finish with freshly chopped parsley.

SKILLET-BRAISED FENNEL
Fresh fennel, which has a strong anise flavor and crunchy texture when raw, becomes mellow and meltingly soft when braised.

Steps:
- Trim the tops of the fennel bulbs; cut bulbs in half lengthwise.
- Melt butter in a large iron skillet over medium heat. Add sugar and stir until melted. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add fennel, cut side down, and cook until well browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to let the fennel burn.
- Turn over bulbs and add orange juice, water, and salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover pan and cook until fennel is soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 to 30 minutes. If the pan becomes dry during cooking, add a little more water. If any liquid is left at the end of the cooking time, continue to cook, uncovered, at medium heat until the liquid evaporates. Garnish with parsley leaves and serve immediately.
ROASTED FENNEL AND ARTICHOKE HEARTS
Canned artichokes add subtlety and flavor to this meal. We like the Whole Foods 365 brand because the artichokes don't come out too salty when roasted.

Steps:
- Trim the tops and bottoms from the fennel bulbs, reserving a handful of the fronds for garnish. Quarter the bulbs. Set each quarter on its side and slice off most of the core. Cut the quarters into wedges about 1-inch thick (don't worry if some pieces fall off the wedge-use those too).
- Put 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Place over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add the fennel and cook without stirring until fennel is brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Stir and let the fennel continue to cook until some more pieces brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup water to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and several grinds of pepper. Lower the heat to medium, cover the skillet, and cook 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the cod with salt and pepper and place on top of the fennel. Cover the pan again and simmer, adding more liquid occasionally if the pan is dry, until the fennel is very tender and the cod is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop the reserved fennel fronds (you should have about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons) and remove the zest from the lemon. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until the breadcrumbs brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper, and allow to cool. Mix the fennel fronds and lemon zest into the breadcrumbs until combined.
- Juice the lemon. Roughly chop the olives.
- When the cod and fennel are done, stir in the lemon juice and the olives. Remove from the heat and let stand for about 1 minute to warm the olives. Transfer the fennel and cod to serving bowls and top the fish with the toasted breadcrumbs. Pour any remaining pan juices over the fennel.
ROMAN-STYLE BRAISED FENNEL
Fennel is a crunchy, assertively anise-flavored vegetable that mellows and sweetens when cooked. Here, the vegetable is prepared in the style of carciofi alla Romana, or braised whole artichokes, which is a simple preparation of simmering them in aromatic olive oil until incredibly tender. The braising liquid is infused with bright lemon, fragrant garlic and fresh herbs, which impart the fennel and shallots with layers of flavor. This versatile side dish can be served warm or at room temperature, and leftovers can be chopped and tossed with spaghetti and Parmesan for an easy meal. The unused fennel stalks can be chopped and sautéed as part of a vegetable soup, and the fronds can be used in place of dill to make gravlax.

Steps:
- In a 12-inch high-sided skillet, melt butter over medium. Add shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add oil and garlic, and stir until fragrant, 1 minute. Add fennel, wine, lemon juice, oregano, parsley and 1½ cups of water, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high, stirring to evenly coat the fennel in the liquid. Arrange the fennel in an even layer.
- Cover, reduce heat to medium and braise until fennel is tender, about 30 minutes, stirring and flipping halfway through.
- Transfer fennel to a serving platter, and spoon over the shallots and sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature.

- Cut the feathery leaves off of the fennel bulbs and set aside. Cut the fennel lengthwise, remove the core and cut again into sections. Place in a baking dish and pour the chicken broth over it.

- While the fennel is baking, mix the oil and vinegars with parsley and 2-3 chopped tablespoons of the feathery fronds. Add salt to taste.
- Remove the fennel dish from the oven and drain off the liquid (I reserved it for my soup) sprinkle the dressing/parsley mixture over the fennel, sprinkle the parmesan cheese over it and return it to the oven and bake it uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
