| This comforting aromatic stew from Vicky Jones' excellent Beans, Peas & Everything In Between, works perfectly as a vegetarian dish of borlotti beans. If you wish you could also add some cubed tofu, pork shoulder or bacon, rubbed with crushed fennel seeds and browned in the pan with the onion and fennel wedges. |
"The use of fennel reminds me of Sicily, where the wild herb grows everywhere, and the leaves are used to flavour pasta con le sarde (pasta with sardines) as well as sausages and cured meats. Fennel calms flatulence – fennel oil is used in the manufacture of babies’ gripe water – so its digestive properties make it the ideal companion for beans."
