1. Wash and clean the fennel plants. 2. Cut off the tops and bottoms and discard. 3. Slice the fennel into quarters. 3. Melt butter, sugar and garlic in skillet [we use an electric wok with a non-stick surface]. 4. Put the fennel in the skillet and cook until golden brown. 5. Add orange juice, water, and a little salt and pepper. 6. Simmer for 20 minutes until the fennel is fork tender (if fennel is not tender enough, add a little juice or water) [personally, I like to cook the liquid down to a nice, thick sauce]. Thats it! We had ours with pasta and pesto sauce, string beans and fresh fruit. Recipe By : BuktiMukti File ftp://ftp.idiscover.co.uk/pub/food/mealmaster/recipes/mmdja006.zip
