FRIED FENNEL RECIPE
As you might guess, this is not really a recipe, but I have nothing to do today and the two fennels in my fridge are staring at me, inviting me to cook them, and… the quickest thing that comes to mind are these little fried cutlets, so… Using the mandoline and always using the guard, I thinly sliced the fennels which I then dipped in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs to which I had added a bit of mixed herb seasoning for roast meat. Basically, a big nonsense, but as a tasty side dish, without too much work and quick, fried fennel are perfect!
You can find fennel all year round because depending on the season, the cultivation area changes. For example, those harvested in winter and until spring are mostly collected in Calabria and Puglia regions, which alone provide 50% of Italian production, and remember that Italy is the first European producer as well as the largest consumer!

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE FRIED FENNEL RECIPE
In a bowl, place the breadcrumbs or proceed to grate it yourself if you have leftover bread. I had two torinesi and prepared it myself at the moment ^_^..
Add a bit of aromatic seasoning with mixed herbs specifically for roast meat: be careful, it is very salty, do not overdo it!
Slice the fennel with the mandoline placing the slices as you work into a bowl with cold water (I also added some ice cubes).
Put a large pan on the fire and pour in the seed oil, preferably peanut because it has a high smoke point.
Beat the eggs in a deep plate.
Take a slice of fennel, dry it, pass it in flour, then in the egg, and finally in the seasoned breading.
Fry the fennel in the pan draining them on absorbent paper, when they are fried on both sides and nice and golden.
No salt because the aromatic seasoning for roasts is already salty, and off to the table with this simple but tasty dish of fried fennel!
Enjoy your meal!
