Spinach and fennel are two of my favorite veggies, so I'm always looking for new ways to use them. This is an amazing side dish, but if you slice the fennel a bit smaller, it also makes a great stuffing for chicken breasts or beef tenderloin. —Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota


Test Kitchen tips
  • With a faint flavor of anise or licorice, fennel is one of those vegetables that is great raw or cooked.
  • Try shaving raw fennel into salads; a little is all you'll need.
  • Want to add even more green? Toss in a cup of fresh or frozen peas.
