Fennel seeds for lamb dishes
Fennel seeds have a warm, sweet, and licorice-like flavor that pairs well with lamb. They can be used whole, crushed, or ground and incorporated into lamb recipes in different ways.
- Spice rubs: Ground fennel seeds can be mixed with other spices, such as cumin, coriander, and black pepper, to create a flavorful rub for lamb cuts before cooking.
- Braising and stewing: Whole or crushed fennel seeds can be added to the braising liquid for lamb shanks or stews, infusing the meat with their aromatic flavor as it cooks.
- Roasting: For a roasted leg of lamb, a mixture of crushed fennel seeds, garlic, and butter can be rubbed over the meat before roasting.
- Marinades: Fennel seeds can be used in marinades, along with ingredients like wine or olive oil, to tenderize and flavor lamb.
- Pilaf: Fennel seeds can be used to add flavor to spiced lamb and bulgur pilaf.
