Quick Orange Fennel in a pan, a side dish suitable for the colder seasons, to be made in a few minutes in a pan, really tasty and light, a nice way to eat fennel that’s not the usual salad, even though I make a fantastic fennel and orange salad. Preparing fennel in a pan is very easy, just slice them and once ready, they will cook in a few minutes on low heat, the orange juice makes the difference. I tried them for the first time a long time ago by chance, I had prepared some orange pork chops and not having a side dish, I thought of throwing a fennel in the pan as well, and it turned out to be a really special dish, so now I often prepare orange fennel.
