Sounds D-licious     Can't wait to try it!!  This will be my first year to try growing fennel  :roll:  Got any tips?

Question: is the quantity for the butter 10 oz. or 1 oz :?

I like seeing recipes for less common veg's, as it gives reason for trying new types

Thanks!!

Oops.  Make that 1oz of butter for the healthy option, or 10oz for the new heart attack diet.  Sorry, typo.

Thanks Ice for the clarification   I'll order the defibrillator before trying the 10 oz butter method.
