Best Roast Fennel Risotto Recipes
FENNEL RISOTTO
Don't let the strong taste of fennel scare you: it fades down after cooking. This is a rich and creamy risotto, just like it ought to be! You can use chicken stock in place of the vegetable stock, as well as olive oil for the butter.

Steps:
- Cut the base off of the fennel bulbs, and cut a cone shape into the base to remove the core. Slice the fennel vertically (lengthwise) into 1/4 inch thick slices.
- Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium heat. Cook onions and fennel in butter for 2 minutes. Stir in the rice; cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted. Stir in 1 cup vegetable broth; continue stirring until liquid is almost completely absorbed. Repeat this process with remaining broth, stirring constantly. Incorporating the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all.
- Stir in cream, 3 tablespoons Parmesan and parsley, and cook until rice is done and risotto is thick and creamy. Season to taste with black pepper. Divide risotto among 6 bowls, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Steps:
- Pulse 1 cup farro in a blender until about half is broken into smaller pieces.

ROAST FENNEL RISOTTO
A subtle and delicious recipe - the fennel seeds and herbs really integrate the taste of the roasted fennel into the whole dish. During preparation, some chefs exhort you to stir the risotto constantly; I find risotto quite forgiving provided it doesn't stick to the pan, so I would prefer to use the phrase 'stir regularly'. At the end of cooking, the risotto should still be pourable, but should not have a large 'head' of unabsorbed fluid when left to settle.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
- Sweat the onion in the oil till softening then add the garlic, fennel seeds and herbs and sweat for a further two minutes.
- Add the rice (and saffron, if using), stirring to coat with oil, then the wine or vermouth.
- Stir till almost absorbed, then begin adding stock, about a ladle (¼ pint) at a time, stirring regularly till almost absorbed.
- Meanwhile, toss the fennel in the olive oil and a little seasoning and place in a roasting tin in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes until just cooked.
- Continue adding all the stock to the rice as described until used up and the rice feels cooked.
- Season to taste, perhaps erring on the side of caution.
- At this point, add the roasted fennel, along with the margarine and Parmazano and stir through till melted and incorporated.
- Check seasoning again - it'll probably be OK now - and serve on warm plates, passing pepper and more Parmazano.
