Full Flavor Fennel: Sweet and light anise flavor, used in fish stocks and sauces or as season in salami and sausages, sometimes used in baking. Caraway: Strong licorice flavor. Known to man since pre-historic times. Used in rye bread, pickles, sauerkraut, pork and duck dishes.
Chef's Companion Substitutions: No raisins? Same amount of dried cranberries, cherries or currants are just fine. Chopped dried apricots or prunes would also work. Cooking clean: Non stick pans are no good if scratched. To keep non-stick pans scratch free, separate them with plastic lids or kitchen paper towel.
