Notes

*To learn how to segment an orange, click here. Fennel has a bright taste, sort of like licorice without the sweet aftertaste. Look for firm, white bulbs with supple fronds. Slice about 1/4 inch off the bottom then remove all the fronds, stalks and outer leaves from the bulb before slicing it very thinly.
