Fennel seed

[Guest guest]

Hi, I was curious if anyone has any recipes , or uses for fennel seed?

I love the flavor so I got some but not sure what vegetarian things it

would be good in. (all I can find online is it's use in meat and

fish!) Thanks!!~Danielle

I used it in a fabulous Easter anise bread.

If you go to our messages on our home page and type in Fennel seeds on the

advanced search bar, all the messages with fennel seeds in them will come up.

Here is a link for what I found when I did that. http://tinyurl.com/4fq3o8

There are several pages of recipes there so don't forget to keep hitting next at

the bottom right hand corner of the page for the next page of them.

 

Also I love to keep a snack size zip loc bag of fennel seeds in my purse. They

help to settle an upset stomach, make your breath fresher and taste good.

I love to eat them after an meal of Indian food. Most Indian Restaurants have a

bowl of them, that they either bring to use or have near the check out area of

the restaurant for you to spoon into your hand and eat.

Hi, Danielle!

I am sure you can use Fennel seed in non-meat foods! I, too, love that warm,

anise-like flavor and aroma of fennel seed--usually I use ground instead of

whole seed, but fennel is one of my favorites.

 

Today I made a sort of mixed-up stir fry (or something like that) and had

chopped up baby bok choy leaves and stems, some baby portabella " baby bella "

mushrooms, sauteed eggplant (pre-salted and cut into small slices)some garlic

and olive oil, some onion, a little basil, thyme, some seasoned salt, some cubed

firm tofu and...fennel seed (ground) sprinkled into it. I wouldn't say the

fennel flavor was prominent, but I like how it gives some sort of savory

mellow-ness to the rest of everything.

 

Fennel is good in tomato-sauced pasta dishes, I think. If I were making

veggie spaghetti, for example or other pasta in " red " sauce, I would definitely

include some fennel as well as the expected " basil/oregano/garlic/onion--and

maybe mushroom " flavors that, for me are standard fare with this kind of food.

(Like basil, oregano, garlic and parsley, I feel that fennel seems to have a

real affinity with tomato-y flavored foods!)

 

I don't know as much about the recipe files here. Can one type in an

ingredient such as " fennel " and come up with recipes that have that listed as

some part of the ingredients in it? That might be interesting. I think the

recipe site, allrecipes.com has that feature--you can look for recipes by typing

in a an ingredient " keyword " . If you find some good ones, please post them

here!

 

I wish you the best in your inquiry! I am sure there are many dishes

(vegetarian, that is) where you can use fennel and it surely would be tasty!

Fennel is often used in commercial rye bread. Since rye is my favorite

bread, I come upon fennel seeds often.

Laura, Thanks for the good ideas. I made eggplant, mushrooms and

zuchinni yesterday for lunch, sounds like I could have tried adding

the fennel there! I never even realized those seeds were fennel at

the Indian resturants!

Good call on the upset tummy. Nursing moms can eat them for babies with colic,

and to increase milk supply. I ate them in Italian dishes...Great with tomatoes

and pastas.

I like it in my veggie sausage. I use LightLife sausage style & mix

in fennel seeds, crushed red chili flakes & sage, yummy!

Peace
