ingredients
- 2 large fennel bulbs, with fronds attached
- 3⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt, divided
- 2 pints grape tomatoes or 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- 4 large fresh oregano sprigs
- 3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini, drained (white kidney beans)
directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F Chop enough fennel fronds to measure 1/2 cup. Trim fennel bulbs and cut in half vertically. Cut each bulb half ito 1/2-inch-wide wedges, leaving some ore attached to each wedge.
- Heat oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 3 minutes. Add fennel wedges in single layer; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon coarse salt. Cook until fennel begins to brown and soften, turning occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes. Add tomatoes, oregano, garlic, and crushed red pepper; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Fold together gently.
- Transfer skillet to oven. Bake fennel and tomatoes until soft, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Mix in beans and 6 tablespoons chopped fennel fronds. Bake 5 minutes longer to heat through. Transfer mixture to large shallow bowl. Sprinkle with remaining chopped fronds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
