Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium fennel bulb
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 0.25 cups vegetable broth

Directions

Step 1

Trim the fennel bulb by removing the stalks and fronds, then thinly slice the bulb lengthwise.

Step 2

Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into 1/4-inch thick pieces.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the sliced fennel to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften.

Step 6

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 7 minutes, stirring, until they are golden and tender.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic, lemon zest, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Deglaze the skillet by adding the vegetable broth and lemon juice. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and let the liquid simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces slightly.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or over cooked grains like quinoa or rice for a complete meal.
