Cherry Fennel Crunch




As you can see, I’m a little bit obsessed with cherries right now.


It’s summer and they are in season!


Yet, as I think about it, I’m not necessarily a seasonal eater. I cook and eat what I feel like and when I feel like it. (“We say Who, we say What, and we say When!” – anybody know that quote?).


I am, however, a seasonal thinker.

Fresh cherries are in season – thus, I dream about them.
Fennel is nice and fresh this time of year as well. 
Thus, Fennel Cherry Crunch. 

Cherry Fennel Crunch 

2 Tbs. butter
1 large head fennel, trimmed, cored, and sliced
1 cup dried cherries
sea salt and pepper
juice and zest of 1 fresh lemon

 

Melt the butter in a medium skillet.


Add the fennel slices and cook until golden brown and until the veggie begins to release its juices.


Stir in the cherries and soften for 1-2 minutes, in the pan, while stirring.


Season with salt and pepper and then deglaze the pan with lemon juice.

 

Remove from heat and top with fresh lemon zest.
