Fennel is an interesting vegetable, and one that until I met Bob held no appeal. In his bean salad, the fennel taste a little like aniseed.
In this dish, the combination of coconut milk, white wine and prosciutto assist in creating a very different flavour.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
4 garlic cloves crushed
¼ leek, chopped
1 tablespoon chives, chopped
½ teaspoon parsley, chopped
1 fennel, diced
5 slices prosciutto (bacon, parma ham etc can be substituted)
400 mls coconut cream
¼ cup white wine
1 cup rice, cook to be ready with the fennel dish
