Yield Makes 4 (first course) meals

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup bottled pomegranate juice
2 medium fennel bulbs (1 1/2 pounds total), stalks cut off
2 navel oranges
3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup coarsely grated Pecorino Romano

  • Boil pomegranate juice in a small heavy saucepan until reduced to about 1/4 cup, about 6 minutes.
