Ingredients:
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
3/4 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
salt to taste

Directions:
1. Wash the fennel and trim the stalks flush with the bulb. Cut off any discolored or bruised layers. Reserve several fennel fronds for garnish. Slice each fennel bulb in half lengthwise and remove the core.

2. In a large saucepan, add the fennel, garlic slices, fennel seed and chicken stock. Cook until the fennel can be easily pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Add the lemon juice and salt to taste.

3. Finely chop several of the fennel fronds to garnish the dish.
