This braised fennel and potatoes dish is a wonderfully aromatic side that brings a touch of Mediterranean flavour to the dinner table. By gently cooking the fennel with onions and olive oil, its natural sweetness is released, losing the harshness of its aniseed notes and becoming soft and buttery. It is a simple, rustic preparation that celebrates seasonal vegetables through a slow-simmering technique.
As a naturally vegan and gluten-free option, this recipe is a versatile addition to a midweek meal or a weekend roast. The red boiling potatoes hold their shape perfectly during the braising process, absorbing the delicate flavours of the fennel and onion. Serve this comforting vegetable dish alongside grilled proteins or as part of a plant-based spread for a nutritious and filling accompaniment.

How to make Braised Fennel and Potatoes
Chop enough fennel fronds to measure 2 tablespoons , then cut off and discard stalks from bulb. Quarter bulb lengthwise and core, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
