Slow Cooked Fennel with Olives and Sundried Tomatoes

Suvie’s even cooking temperatures can produce perfectly tender fennel that retains its shape and its pleasing toothsomeness. Here, fennel joins chickpeas and briny black olives, flavored with garlic, oregano, and a jar of sundried tomatoes packed in oil, which conveniently forms the foundation of the cooking liquid. Some jars include herbs or other flavorings, which are fine to use. This dish would make a sumptuous side for sous vide or grilled white fish; it would also pair well with lightly-dressed greens (try using the cooking liquid as the basis of a vinaigrette). Fennel is likewise delectable when slightly caramelized and meltingly tender, as in our Spring Vegetables Braised in Olive Oil.
