    We'd got fennel in our vegbox and had no idea what to do with it - definitely not a vegetable for us though! Don't have a mandolin so sliced by hand and maybe the chunkyness was part of reason for not liking this dish. Far too strong a flavour and a waste of perfectly good broad beans. Those who like fennel/aniseed may love it though.
