Heidi Barry
Made this several weeks ago. Didi not get the fennel flavor coming through much, but still delicious. The leftover olive oil has been in the fridge and used to make from eggs all the way to fish and tenderloin.

The potatoes captured all the nuances of the other ingredients. Very tasty and paired well with the steak, sauce and herbe breadcrumbs. The fennel still had an over powering flavor of licorice and went into the “thanks for coming” bowel.  Looking forward to using this flavored olive oil in other recipes.  We will make this again.  Thanks Anne!

Amazing! Wonderful with the Skirt Steak. Will definitely make again.

It is a lot of olive oil, but worth it.
