Fennel rings! They’re like onion rings, but a little sturdier, which means more dipping sauce, which is only a positive in my world. The fennel flavor is pretty mild, but if you’re paying attention, you can taste it. And, I mean, there’s no guilt associated with eating fennel rings. It’s seasonal.
Fennel Rings
1 bulb of fennel 1/2 – 1 cup of all-purpose flour 1/2 – 1 cup of panko (or normal breadcrumbs) 1 egg, beaten 1 cup or more of vegetable oil salt and pepper
Slice fennel into rings or parentheses shapes, between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch thick, depending on how you prefer your fried things.
Pour out a pile of flour, a pile of panko, and a bowl with your beaten egg. Season the salt and panko with a little salt and pepper.

Don’t have the first clue what “fennel” is and I have little desire to find out. But onion rings? Sign me up...medical advice be damned!
Fennel is in large part what gives Italian sausage its flavor.
Yep — well, fennel seed. The fennel bulb is also delicious. Alas, it’s hard to find onion rings at the supermarket that aren’t made from minced onion.
I love onion rings.
Yes and growing fennel is great for butterflies, especially the black swallowtail. It smelled pretty good, too.
buttermilk an zatarains fish fry
This sounds REALLY good. And not too hard.
Onion rings are health foods. Loaded with anti-oxidants, proven to lower risks of certain cancers of the digestive system, help control blood sugar, may boost bone density, and may help with cardiac health.
As for the frying, use healthy oils and get additional health benefits.
Shop in the fresh produce section. It's like Ikea furniture - some assembly required.
Yup.
Fenel is also a mild narcotic. Fenel seed tea was an old recipe for many ailments, tooth ache, colds, crying babies,,,etc.

I did not know that, all I know is it is tasty.
