Texture of celery. Raw, it tastes and smells like anise. I know some people eat it raw, but most will saute it in olive oil, or add it to stews and the like. Its raw/whole state is that of a bulbous celery bunch. Once cooked, I didn't notice much of the anise flavor, which I appreciated!
I was chopping it for use in this braised short ribs dish. Once cooked the flavor is more subtle and melds nicely with the other veggies in your dish.
Here's a pic of the fennel as you buy it. This was my first time cooking with it. You can use it all - bulb, stems and "leaves".
