As a spice used in almost every culture around the world, fennel’s unique, slightly sweet flavor profile accented with warm notes of licorice brings out hidden flavors in a wide variety of dishes. Rumi’s signature fennel is grown wild in the rugged outskirts of the Herat region in Afghanistan, where local foragers gather fennel during the summer harvest.
Fennel pairs well with other herbs and spices such as basil, thyme, and oregano, and offers any cook amazing versatility. Its bold flavor pairs well with flaky white fish and slow-roasted pork and adds delicious earthy notes to everything from vinaigrettes, curries, cocktails, and baked goods.
