This goes quite well with roast chicken. There's a wild fennel where the leaves are the main part used. In the domesticated fennel, the leaves aren't nearly as profuse, and the bulb is (I believe) bigger. The leaves of the domestic fennel also have a slightly different taste.

Fennel leaves, however, is an exotic veggie in India. But I loved the recipe, so I will try it. Anchovies do add a wonderful flavour and I am not going to omit adding these.

And the cardamon comparison is really good! (I love cardamon - great spice.) You'll enjoy braising fennel, it has such a nice flavor (and browning it really makes it prettier too, IMO).

I love it...so I think it's time I give it a whirl at home. And I'm okay with the anchovies. In cooking it does what cardamom does for me in baking. When people don't realize it's added...they love the flavor...but can't put their finger on why! And I'll definitely brown the fennel first.
