A single, fresh fennel bulb, known in Malta as ‘Bużbież’, is a fantastic ingredient to have in your kitchen. It is a unique vegetable with a crisp, layered bulb, sturdy stalks, and feathery fronds. It has a refreshing, subtly sweet flavour with distinct notes of anise or licorice, which becomes milder and sweeter when it is roasted or braised. Fennel is an excellent source of Vitamin C and fibre and is known for its digestive properties. It is a star of Mediterranean cuisine. Enjoy it shaved thinly into a refreshing salad with oranges and olives, braised with fresh local fish, or roasted until caramelized and sweet to serve alongside pork. The fronds can be chopped and used as a fresh herb to garnish the final dish.
