This fennel is a wonderful side dish that goes exceptionally well with grilled fish, chicken or pork. The zesty marinade pairs perfectly with the fennel's licorice flavour, which mellows and softens, along with its texture, when it’s cooked. Thyme is always delicious with cooked fennel, and a few sliced Kalamata olives would be a nice addition to this recipe.
