Weeknight Oaxacan Shaved Fennel

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: mixed greens, olive oil, lemon and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the yellow onion in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the shaved fennel and let it weeknight, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the red pepper flakes along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with toasted nuts right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
