Quick Soups, Salads,

and Side Dishes Tip

An unusual side dish can turn a mundane chicken breast into a gourmet-

quality meal. Pick up fennel at your grocer or farmers market. This

crunchy, sweet, aromatic vegetable with a mild licorice flavor is loaded

with vitamin C and other antioxidants. Here's how to cook it: Cut off the

core at the base of the bulb and remove the long stems. Quarter the bulb

and saute it with a teaspoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

After 5 minutes, lower the heat and add ½ cup of orange juice. Cover

and simmer until the fennel is soft, about 10 minutes. (Hey, fennel is

also great grilled. Just brush with olive oil before tossing on a hot grill.)
