TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for Gut Soothing Fennel Bone Broth:

• Slice Fennel Thinly: Even and fine slices cook faster and deliver tender texture in under 5 minutes.
• Low Heat: Maintain gentle heat while sautéing to preserve delicate fennel and prevent burning.
• Infuse Slowly: Adding anise seeds early helps mellow their flavour for a subtle liquorice note.
• Add Vinegar Off‑Heat: Stir in apple cider vinegar once the heat is off to keep the acidity fresh and bright.
• Fresh Garnish: Use fennel fronds as a fresh garnish to enhance aroma and visual appeal.

VARIATIONS

• Vegan Alternative: Substitute vegetable broth and skip anise seeds or replace with fennel pollen.
• Protein Boost: Add shredded chicken breast or tofu cubes for extra protein.
• Herb Twist: Include a sprig of thyme or tarragon for additional herbal depth.
• Spice Variation: Add a pinch of turmeric and black pepper for warmth and anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Heartier Texture: Stir in pre-cooked barley or quinoa for a more filling meal.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Fridge Storage: Cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
