Top notch Fennel recipe. I steamed the quarter bulbs for 5 minutes and then continued following the recipe instructions except I only used about 2 tbsp of olive oil. The fennel was crunchy just the way I like it and the garlic melds with the licorice flavor. The pepper flakes do not take over the taste but gives it an additional boost. It does not make this "Hot" Thanks Jason Loved your recipe
