Sauteed Green Beans, Fennel & Garlic

With Springtime comes warmer weather & delicious new veg to eat.  As a seasonal eater I must say that, by the end of winter, I get mighty tired of butternut squash, beets & broccoli!  Sauteed Green Beans, Fennel & Garlic is an easy, flavorful dish which doubles as a great opportunity to add an underused vegetable (like fennel) to your dinner plate.  Bring on the produce!!

  • Small fennel bulb (fronds & core removed), thinly sliced
  • 1 lb green beans, end trimmed
