Fennel will help warm up the body while the addition of lemon will support healthy Liver function. Together these two foods help the digestive system.
Trim the fennel and roughly chop 1 tablespoon of the fronds. Halve each bulb through the core, then cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add just enough oil to coat the pan. When hot, cook the fennel, without moving, until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook 1 minute more. Add salt.
Add the broth, lemon rind, and juice and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, until tender, about 10 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer fennel to a bowl.
Raise the heat to high and reduce the sauce until syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes.
Fold the sauce and reserved fronds into the fennel and top.
Serve over rice and enjoy!

Could you add a description of how this meal helps the body?
Hi Paula,
Fennel is warming which is the goal of this program right now, to warm up the body. The lemon is sour so it supports the Liver.
