Fennel

Barbara R. (Q&A ID 17356)

Just reading your adult version of Tuna Noodle Casserole which reads like a quick, right from the pantry recipe......except I typically don't have fennel in the crisper. What could be subbed in to keep that anise-y touch in the dish?

From a lazy mid-week cook!!

Hi Barbara -

Obviously fennel seeds would provide the same sort of flavor as fresh fennel, but for textural similarities, we'd say celery would work best to replace the bulb and fresh dill for the fronds.

Best,
