While you can find fresh fennel is grocery stores year round, when it's in season, it is almost like a different vegetable! With a subtle anise-like flavor, fennel is the perfect expression of spring and early summer: sweet and crisp, mild enough to pair with almost anything, but with enough distinction to easily hold its own in a starring role!
