Hawaiian Grown TV – Fennel – Moloa’a Organica’a
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
We stop off at Moloa’a Organica’s Farms to meet Ned Whitlock to pick some fresh organic fennel in Kilauea, Kauai.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), is a plant species in the genus Foeniculum (treated as the sole species in the genus by most botanists). It is a member of the family Apiaceae (formerly the Umbelliferae). It is a hardy, perennial, umbelliferous herb, with yellow flowers and feathery leaves. It is generally considered indigenous to the shores of the Mediterranean, but has become widely naturalised elsewhere (particularly, it seems, areas colonized by the Romans) and may now be found growing wild in many parts of the world, especially on dry soils near the sea-coast and on river-banks.
It is a highly aromatic and flavorful herb with culinary and medicinal uses, and is one of the primary ingredients of absinthe. Florence fennel or finocchio is a selection with a swollen, bulb-like stem base that is used as a vegetable.
fennel is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the Mouse Moth and the Anise Swallowtail.
Fennel is widely cultivated, both in its native range and elsewhere, for its edible, strongly-flavoured leaves and fruits, which are often mistermed “seeds”. Its aniseed flavour comes from anethole, an aromatic compound also found in anise and star anise, and its taste and aroma are similar to theirs, though usually not as strong.
The bulb, foliage, and seeds of the fennel plant are widely used in many of the culinary traditions of the world. Fennel pollen is the most potent form of fennel, but also the most expensive. Dried fennel seed is an aromatic, anise-flavoured spice, brown or green in colour when fresh, slowly turning a dull grey as the seed ages. For cooking, green seeds are optimal. The leaves are delicately flavored and similar in shape to those of dill. The bulb is a crisp, hardy root vegetable and may be sauteed, stewed, braised, grilled, or eaten raw.

Cooking raw sausage and oily fennel – Celebrity Masterchef – BBC
Friday, December 4th, 2009
It’s early in the competition and it shows. Grame Le Saux cooks a basic potato and monkfish dish, that pleases the judges but doesn’t excite. The judges are then presented with raw sausages! Followed by a rather more pleasing monkfish and asparagus dish. Finally Hardeep steps up and shows some confidence with a simple watercress and fennel salad and a rather sumptuous monkfish main. From the BBC.
