The weather is still a bit nippy in the mornings and I find myself craving for comforting meals even now. I had recently bought some gorgeous Fennel from my local Whole Foods and used them in two different ways, my Roasted Curried Fennel and this recipe in which I’ve used all the stems and fronds as well.
