GRILLED FENNEL WITH ANCHOVY GARLIC BUTTER |
|
Trim the fennel bulbs of their leafy tops. Cut the bulb into
¾ inch wedges being sure to leave the root end in tact so that they don't fall
apart on the grill.
Preheat the grill to high heat.
Meanwhile place the soft butter in a large bowl. Crush the garlic and add it to
the bowl. Rinse the anchovy fillets and dice them. Add the anchovy bits to the
bowl and mix. Squeeze the juice from a fresh lemon into the bowl. Add the black
pepper and cilantro. Mix it all together well.
Drizzle the fennel wedges with the olive oil. Lower
the heat to medium high and place the fennel on the grill. Cook for
approximately 5 minutes per side with the lid up. Watch for flare ups and shift
the vegetable if they persist.
Serve hot with garlic anchovy butter melting on top.
