What to do with Fennel stems and leaves?

These were volunteer fennel plants that started late and did not form large bulbs. I am using the stalks and using/preserving the leaves and thought you'd like to know how that's done.
Fennel tastes like VERY mild licorice and gives an amazing flavor, especially to fish.

    Great tips -- thank you! I remember chewing on wild (self sown) fennel stems as a teenager, just because I liked the taste. Much older now (with teenagers of my own), yet somehow I've only just discovered fennel bulbs as a great vegetable :)

    We actually grow the fennel for just the greens on top!...We let them dry and use them to season pork and tomatoes....the tomatoes are actually delicious! We take the garden tomato's cut out the stem part and make a little hole...then grind up salt pork and stuff the tomato hole with it...take the dried fennel leaves and sprinkle it all over the tomato salt pork stuffing. Bake for about an hour in a 400 oven. Baked tomatoes made this way are the best! And dont forget the italian bread to dip in the juice!
