Ingredients 6 ingredients

  1. Chop
  2. Water
  3. a pint of white sauce
  4. an ounce of butter
  5. Rub
  6. Soda

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Take a large handful of green fennel, take away all stalks and put the sprigs into a saucepan with cold water and a tiny bit of soda.
  2. Boil for five minutes, then drain, chop fine, and mix well with half an ounce of butter.
  3. Rub through a sieve, and add this pulp to half a pint of white sauce.
