what he is friends today the secret ingredient is yeah yes that is right my love's today the secret ingredient is fennel we're going to make it two different ways we're going to make a salad with some apples on that biz and then work on a freaking caramelize this phenol okay I don't even know what a fennel is until now but we're gonna make it so first things first I'll cut the film you can use these leaves for the salad if you'd like we're going to use that today because I have no other stuff but the stocks apparently you can't really use it for much except if you want to make vegetable broth but iron about that life no I ain't about this laughs this tastes like a celery and celery's give me headaches oh no but i'm gonna use this time i hope this is good y'all i hope this is good fun fact about fennel it is the last name of my personal trainer while i was in university and he helped me get a little bit fitter every week you know shut me out Kurt pow pow pow Thanks this is the inside of a fennel parently fennels are pretty similar to celery or I'm gonna taste it it tastes like celery I don't like celery but I do taste the licorice and you know what licorice reminds me of in 490 BC the Greeks fought the Persians on a field of fennel hmm interesting can somebody please tell me the best way to cut a fat all because i am not waiting with this right now so here's a deal you're going to take this and you're going to put it on a warm skillet with some olive oil and then every once in a while just flip it over until it's nice and golden brown basically caramelizes that's what you're going for right so I'm going to put this in there right now with some olive oil and then I'm going to make the salad so far not crowding the problem is now for the salad my dears you've been here commune smells pretty good so far I think it's really fun to try new things out I mean for me I always go for something that's memorable if I'm going to remember it and even if it sucks just go ahead and do it because then you're going to remember it I think that's one of the things that keeps me happy it's just going for things that are memorable it kind of keeps your your priority in the right place you know now i have fuji apples fuji apples are the bomb com I'm gonna put this in this is what it looks like so far I think I have to heat a little high but it's cooking so whatever look at this fennel fuji apple and that federal like leave stuff so my friend iris from germany told me about this recipe she puts fennel apples and shredded carrots as well as some lemon juice which I have right now and I'm going to put it in there and I think it will also keep the apples from browning but I'm excited to try this out shout out to Iris thanks a lot she told me this on Instagram do you follow me on instagram you should follow me on instagram rvx mendoza girl i'm a post in the best crap of your life I'm not kidding so good follow me if not joke's on you because I'm hilarious all right let's try this out still caramelizing the fennel just slip in this stuff right here but this looks pretty good so I'm just going to try it out hmm it's so refreshing it tastes like mint and Apple together which is pretty good if you think about it is this what caramelizing looks like they're mice burning it I so this is what the caramelized fennel looks like I'm going to cook more but i just wanted to show you what one batch look like I don't know if I burnt it or not I don't know how to properly caramelize things but it looks pretty good let's try it out hmm for some reason I taste like you know like a I'm not sweet banana like a cooked on sweet banana but I also taste onion it's pretty good I do like the salad a little bit better you should try it out fennel seriously go get it my our whole foods whatever girl get it wherever just try it out make a memory see ya
