Step 1

Cut off stalks, set the green fronds to the side to use for garnish afterwards. Cut off root end. Halve fennel bulb lengthways. Cut at a diagonal angle in a triangular shape, from both sides, underneath the tough core to remove it. Separate the fennel layers. Slice into strips or dice.

Step 2

Use the fennel slices instead of tortilla chips and enjoy with dips, or use the diced fennel in soups and stews to add a really rich, earthy flavor to your meals.
