Steps:
- Trim the fennel and roughly chop 1 tablespoon of the fronds. Halve each bulb through the core, then cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add just enough oil to coat the pan. When hot, cook half the fennel, without moving, until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining fennel, adding more oil to the pan if needed.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the fennel, broth, lemon rind and juice and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, until tender, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Raise the heat to high and reduce the sauce until syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Fold the sauce and reserved fronds into the fennel and top with Parmesan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- 1. Heat butter over medium heat in sauté pan large enough to hold fennel in almost single layer. Add fennel and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Add wine and cover pan. Simmer over medium heat 15 minutes. Turn slices and continue to simmer, covered, until fennel is quite tender, has absorbed most of pan liquid, and starts to turn golden, about 10 minutes longer. Turn fennel again and continue cooking until fennel starts to color on other side, about 4 minutes longer. 2. Sprinkle fennel with cheese. Transfer to platter or individual plates and serve immediately.
BRAISED FENNEL AND PARMESAN
Steps:
- MAKES 4 SERVINGS Working with 1 fennel bulb at a time, cut off the stalks and feathery leaves and discard or reserve for another use. Peel away the tough outer layer of the bulb, then cut lengthwise into medium-sized wedges. If the core seems very tough, trim it, but do not cut it away fully or the wedges will fall apart. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the fennel, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Add the chicken stock, cover, and cook until the fennel is tender, about 10 minutes. Arrange the wedges on a warmed serving dish and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Serve at once.
