Double Fennel Pork Stew image

Autumnal comfort food, something a little different. A variation would be 1 carrot and 1 parsnip, instead of all carrots. Good served with fresh, warm crusty bread spread with warm roasted garlic, or cubes of toasted buttered "everything" bagels. Suggested dessert is an apple or pear crisp with ice cream or custard topping.
