Ingredients

• 2 large fennel bulbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 3 large tomatoes
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup white wine
• 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Trim the fennel bulbs, removing any tough outer layers and cutting off the stalks and fronds. Reserve a few fronds for garnish. Slice each fennel bulb lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick wedges.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Thinly slice the onion and add it to the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pan. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Step 5

Chop the tomatoes into rough 1-inch pieces and add them to the pan along with the fennel wedges. Sauté the mixture for 5 minutes, allowing the fennel to lightly brown.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and white wine. Stir in the Herbes de Provence, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the fennel is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the lid and let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the liquid to reduce slightly.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Transfer the Fennel Provençal to a serving dish, garnish with chopped parsley and reserved fennel fronds, and serve warm.
