Story

This dish is delicious all by itself or served on top of brown rice or wide egg noodles. You can increase the sauce by adding a touch more wine and/or milk.
If you've never cooked with fennel before, this is a good recipe to try. There are a lot of complimentary flavors that work perfectly together. The sage and rosemary especially add a nice balance to the fennel.
This dish also freezes very well. Seal tightly in ziploc freezer bags or containers and keep frozen for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw in refrigerator, then put in shallow saucepan or skillet and heat slowly on low burner, stirring often, until just heated - do not allow to boil.
