How to prepare fennel - French cooking basics

[@elainesandborn4617]

I like your organic gardening knowledge that you shared! We need to know how to grow and eat healthy. Going to try your companion planting method. Your cooking techniques are great also! Thank you

[@svenleeuwen]

Fresh fennel and orange is the ultimate summer salade. Stems go in my bouillon, plantparts on fish. Mmm!

[@user-eq9nh9sl8k]

I slice like onion for Cod and Fennel stew. Thank you for video on how to cut fennel very helpful for other uses.

[@JulietKnott-k4f]

Very nice presentation love it have to try it

[@Catherine_Kate]

That old intro... like a nightclub! 💃 Amazing detail and content as always 🌽

[@jetsetter8541]

[@ajl8198]

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

a j hi there thanks for watching. Actually I need to do a video on how to make a simple oven roasted fennels soon . Thanks for watching

[@MrSunlander]

I'm so glad you lost the music..... nice time-trip to your beginnings.

[@davidrochac2512]

Leaving the fennel in cold water for an hour or so also lightens the liqrice taste. A simple side dish would be to have the fennel thinny sliced (vertically) and tossed with oil, salt et pepper with a few leaves tossed in for garnish. Very tasty!!

[@mzledastray2207]

New subcriber here, thank you for this interesting and informative video. I've been wanting to try fennel for some time but had no idea how to prepare it. I followed your prep advice and made a wonderful fennel and orange salad last to go with broiled sockeye salmon and it was a hit! You deserve many many more subscribers, love your channel : )

[@winston_smith7023]

mzledastray : MAN! That sounds tasty!

[@susanarossini9326]

With the fehnel & the celery you discard , I use to flavor chicken stock .

[@liahfox5840]

That's actually why I'm here. I'm wanting to understand how to use it.

[@jennifers9947]

Fennel is wonderful with white beans also

[@sharroon7574]

Sounds fabulous

[@RanBlakePiano]

Fabulous. Very lucid

Other useful tips to protect your garden without using pesticides: Blend water and mace or other super spicy pepper. Then, spray it on your plants. It doesn't hurt most plants but insects hate it. You have to reapply it after it rains. You can also buy carnivorous ladybugs (the ones who eat larves) and release them on your garden. They eat all the larve and leave once all the larve are gone.

MrBeatboxmasta bit of soapy water sprayed on brassicas: aphids loath it, Take your kids out to the local park to catch spiders and mantises, release em in backyard for many recuring years of natural insecticidal predators, Grow geraniums between your edible plants, impossible to kill, nothing eats them, and their soapy smell repels just about everything

[@albuseisenhorn3385]

both bugs and your eyeballs, pets, sneaky neighbors haha

[@Lasvegaskid11]

Nice presentation...Thank you so much....

[@fabreezethefaintinggoat5484]

Thanks

[@CuriousCat777]

I eat fennel (pan fried) with red fried onions, curly endive greens, salt and pepper lemon little bit of apple cider

[@CuriousCat777]

I add kalamata olives and Romano cheese at the end. On top of this delicious salad!

[@Wiseamphibian87]

What seasoning do you add to the pan fry fennel ??

[@mizzpoetrics]

I'm not a big fan of licorice, so this wouldn't work for me raw. I do however, slice it thin and add it to my pan when I'm braising chicken thighs. Sometimes I add diced tomato, carrot & onion - which are all pureed after. Braised Chix thighs or pork, with homemade mashed potatoes & gravy, along with the puree. It's comfort food to me - ughh, so much for my diet! 😅

[@shenicajennings8536]

The leaves can be dried and use for tea... all parts of the fennel is good.... rich in magnesium, potassium.... good for cold, gas, colic in baby etc...

[@albuseisenhorn3385]

gas possibly since there are things called digestifs however the rest of that is psudo-science please stop spreading that snake oil thank you

[@2klatte]

Will you do show us some fennel recipes?

[@tubekulose]

I'm wondering why you threw the leaves in the garbage container.

[@christajordaan7432]

Yes... since you said that ALL parts can be used...

[@mariaschwartz447]

Dip raw in olive oil with salt

[@albuseisenhorn3385]

Fennel is my fave replacement for celery in stews, adds better texture & adds a subtle flavour that goes with meat very well

[@mihaelatudor2417]

Any uses for all that discarded part ?Looks like a lot of waste....

[@albuseisenhorn3385]

use the stalks for stock/soup (often woody and not fun to eat) the fronds can be used in a similar prep to dill (chopping etc.) really the only part that you toss is the very bottom with the root which you could technically also use for stock

[@katelynfahler1537]

I’m learning French cooking after my mom found out through a dna test that she’s 1/2 French. Making me a 1/4.

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

hey a compatriote 🙂🙂👍

[@lakshmik6676]

I am lakshmi I am working French family I. Lane so much your. cooking. I like to speak with you.

[@jennifers9947]

Also...oysters

[@mylanixon9582]

Why wouldn't we want fiber??? 👀

[@albuseisenhorn3385]

he means fibrous so its very difficult to chew - can use that for stock since you remove it after all its nutrients and flavour has been released

[@stealthop]

Too wasteful

[@lewtheprof]

to the point of ridiculousness!!!

[@fluorcyl6112]

Waste, waste, waste, waste! Disgusting! Remove this, remove that, remove remove until there's hardly anything left! You're fired, you're wasting too much product!

[@albuseisenhorn3385]

for raw use which is what he said, no its not. in your imaginary restaurant you'd keep the rest for stock or long cooking (works in your home too)

[@remocosentino4825]

Every Italian I know would stop watching your class here. You are throwing away the fronds that are aromatic of your fruit which makes as good as parsley and dill, or any green herb. Go back to school and learn about fennel..

[@LMTMarta]

You destroy 60% of the plant.that is stupid

[@itsjoan42]

Not a recommened way to cut....anything. Never cut toward yourself......

[@AndaGalffy]

You wasted 11 precious minutes to explain how to clean fennel. Explain how it's being prepared. People don't have time to waste!

[@Skoben2000]

He did show the prep work. The video is called how to PREPARE fennel. He showed that. Do you mean how to COOK fennel? He gave some ideas but this is how the vegetable is prepped to get it ready for cooking if you're going to cook it.

[@stevefranklin9176]

French Cooking Academy not French cooking soundbites. Stefan teaches in the same manner as my chefs did.
