SPICED WINTER SQUASH WITH FENNEL



Spiced Winter Squash With Fennel image

My brother made this from a recipe my SIL got on-line. It's originally from Bon Appetit. I loved the way the fennel and squash tasted, asked her for the recipe, and here it is! Good fall recipe, for Thanksgiving or Christmas (which is what my brother made it for). We never celebrate Christmas on Christmas which is why I'm able to post it early.

1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon anise seeds
