Oven-Braised Fennel with Goat Cheese

This recipe has few ingredients, so quality is important. Goat cheese crumbles are available in the specialty cheese section of many supermarkets.

INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4
Carb Level: Low

  • 1 pound fennel bulbs, trimmed and cut into ⅛-inch-thick slices
  • ¼ cup chicken stock
  • ¼ cup goat cheese crumbles
