Even though warm fennel is perfectly delicious just anointed with a little olive oil, red pepper adds a welcome sharpness to the sweet anise flavor.

Ingredients

Method

Trim the fennel bulbs, reserving a few green fronds, and cut them crosswise into ½-inch slices. Put the slices into the perforated top of a large steamer and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Have the water in the bottom of the steamer boiling rapidly.
