I love them just pan, like in a pot, like you would make sauteed onions.

So treat it that way and just reduce, let them soften in a little bit of oil and butter.

Of course, it's always gorgeous.

I know I've mentioned roast chicken already but they're absolutely gorgeous as a base.

So get two or three, half them, quarter them.

drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, place your chicken on top.

So, you know, as your chicken's roasting, all those juices are coming out and going in.

Fennel has a really, it's also kind of a divider as well.

I don't think everybody loves it, but it has a really unique flavour, you know, that kind of licoricey, but not too strong.

And then the texture has that crunch.

It is unusual.

All the top bit you can eat, all those stalks you can eat, by the way, all the herby parts you can eat if you want as well, the bushy bit at the top, that's quite like dill.

same family um so yeah i wouldn't be i wouldn't be afraid of it it's definitely a harder vegetable to chop because of its hardness but cut it down the middle so you've still got the centerpiece on and use that as your bit to hold on to and then that's even though you know the way sometimes it goes into three or four kind of roundy stalky bits at the top they're perfect cut them as well so they're gorgeous to eat yeah i want that from under a roast chicken right now

Absolutely.

Like we are probably coming a little bit away from Irish raspberries.

Strawberries are still going because there's so many strawberry farmers.

here in Ireland but then we're coming into like well we have gooseberries which are usually wild not many are cultivated and blackberries like Stella and I go picking blackberries any time like they're everywhere on the walk to school you know they're down the country they're in the cities but absolutely gorgeous and yeah you talked about freezing earlier or batch cooking these are something you could do like if you really love Irish berries like I do as well and don't want to be using you know foreign berries in the

Buy some now, give them a little wash and throw them in the freezer or make yourself up a nice coulis or jam or something and preserve what is in season right now for in the future.

Because that's what we used to do.

You know, we used to not waste this moment of, you know, abundance and can things, pickle things, you know, jam things, jelly things.
