Fennel ⚖
510140
Fennel is a premium bulb vegetable, prized in the catering industry for its crisp texture and unique aniseed flavour profile. Selected by Le Delas, this product features dense, fleshy bulbs of immaculate white, topped with green fronds that guarantee optimal freshness. Its versatility in the kitchen makes it a staple ingredient for creating light, fragrant dishes all year round.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Culinary applications: When raw, it is sliced into thin strips using a mandoline for crisp salads (a classic pairing with citrus fruits). When cooked, it reveals its full sweetness when braised, confit in olive oil, or incorporated into aromatic garnishes for fish and shellfish.
► Full utilisation: The fronds can be chopped like an aromatic herb to finish a dish, whilst the firmer hearts are ideal for making silky purées or mousses.
► Preparation: Remove the base of the stalk and the outer stems if they are too fibrous. To eat raw, plunge the slices into ice-cold water to enhance their crunch.
► Storage: Store in a positive-temperature cold room, away from excessive humidity to prevent the outer leaves from browning.
