1 bulb fennel
2 Tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
water
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Cut fennel into 1/4-inch-thick slices, using as much of the fennel as possible. The stalks are a little fibrous, but can be saved for stock or used here. Heat oil in a heavy skillet over low to medium heat. Add sliced fennel and stir to coat with oil. Add garlic, 1/2 cup water, and salt and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Be sure to keep a little water in the skillet, adding extra by tablespoon as needed. During the last few minutes of cooking, add parsley. Serves 3 to 4.
