Inspire me please, what to do with fennel?

[admylin]

I've got fennel here and apart from roasting what could I do with it? Dc didn't like the roasted version even though they ate it - any other ideas?

We went to friends for dinner on saturday and they did a really nice chicken and fennel dish. It was a nigel slater one...

I've done a salmon and fennel en croute which was lovely.

if you scroll down here's the chicken and feneel dish

Will prob have to type out the other one so let me know if you want it.

or i have a gordon ramsey coleslaw recipe that uses it.

Think that exhausts my fennel experience now !

Great the coleslaw sound like a good idea too. Thanks. I'm doing salmon today so I could try and add some fennel - for us, dc are having theirs as fish nuggets in chickpea batter.

Ooh, slice it really thinly ( use a mandolin (?) if you have one). Add some chopped chives, lemon juice and olive oil. Gorgeous - even my kids eat it.

Cooked or raw?

Raw

Bake red mullet over mandolinned fennel. mmmmmmm.
