Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the vegetables

    Trim the ends of the tenderstem broccoli and slice the fennel bulb into thin wedges.

  2. 2

    Blanch the broccoli

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tenderstem broccoli and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the fennel

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the fennel wedges and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they start to soften and caramelize.

  4. 4

    Combine and season

    Add the blanched tenderstem broccoli to the skillet with the fennel. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss gently to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish.
