I absolutely love this braised vegetable side dish. The fennel and leek are both soft and luscious, fragrant and savoury-sweet.

Instructions

1.Heat the butter and oil together in a large, deep frying pan and add fennel. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally.
2.Add wine, stock, cream, garlic and zest and bring to a simmer.
3.Cover and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes then add the leeks, stir gently then cover and cook for 10 minutes.
4.Remove the lid and cook a further 5-10 minutes until the fennel and leek are soft and tender.
5.Serve garnished with fennel fronds and Parmesan on the side.
