Braised fennel is a flavorful dish that highlights the natural sweetness and subtle licorice notes of fennel bulbs. Typically prepared by gently cooking fennel in olive oil, butter, or broth until tender, the dish often incorporates ingredients like garlic, lemon juice, or white wine to enhance its aromatic profile. Common in Mediterranean cuisine, braised fennel pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, or as a standalone side. Fennel is rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, promoting digestive health, supporting immunity, and aiding heart health. Its unique antioxidants like anethole may also have anti-inflammatory benefits. When prepared with heart-healthy olive oil and minimal butter, braised fennel remains a nutritious option. However, richer versions using excess butter or oils may increase calorie content. Low in carbs yet high in flavor, this dish is a wholesome addition to balanced diets celebrating Mediterranean culinary traditions.
