I love quick dinners. What that really means is I love quick dinners that I can make in one pan or pot and spend more time photgraphing than actually cooking. This was one of those nights.
The Thanksgiving travel and dinners are over and we both want to eat lighter and leaner this week. I feel a funky cold type thing coming on and I don’t really feel like eating much of anything. But Stephen convinced me that the fennel hanging out in our fridge needed to feel useful to the people.
This was easy, an like most stir fries, very versatile.
