Green Beans With Fennel Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add half the green beans and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Toss and continue cooking until tender, 3 to 4 minutes; transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Add another 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet and repeat with the remaining green beans; add to the baking sheet and wipe out the skillet.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the sausage to the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat, until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to the baking sheet with the green beans. Add the red onion, fennel and thyme to the skillet, season with salt and cook, stirring, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Return the beans and sausage to the skillet and toss; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and top with fennel fronds.

Steps:

Add the sliced fennel, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but still retaining a little bite, about 12 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
