Description

This elegant side dish transforms humble fennel bulbs into a sophisticated centerpiece by stuffing them with a savory mixture of sliced mushrooms and salty prosciutto. The natural sweetness of the roasted fennel pairs beautifully with the earthy mushrooms and rich ham, while a splash of white wine adds brightness and depth. The result is a tender, aromatic vegetable dish with complex flavors and a delightful texture contrast between the crisp prosciutto and soft fennel. Perfect for holiday dinners or special weeknight meals, it brings a touch of Italian-inspired cuisine to your table without requiring advanced culinary skills.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  2. Trim the stalks and feathery greens from the fennel bulbs; reserve the greens for garnish.
  3. Halve the fennel bulbs lengthwise and remove the tough core.
  4. Steam or boil the fennel halves until just tender, about 10-12 minutes, then drain and let cool slightly.
  5. While fennel cooks, sauté sliced mushrooms and minced prosciutto in a skillet until browned and flavorful.
  6. Stuff the cavity of each fennel half with the mushroom and prosciutto mixture.
  7. Place stuffed fennel halves in a baking dish and add chicken broth and white wine to the bottom.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 15-20 minutes until tender.
  9. Garnish with minced reserved fennel greens before serving.
