If you want to spring for good stuff I know Kalustyan's in NY carries it. It lasts a long time and they ship. But I also understand that you might not want to spend money on something you might not like or use!
I like the recipe variation, too. Imagine going to bed knowing that in the morning something delicious will be in the oven, with so little effort. Fennel-flavoured tomatoes for breakfast? Why not?
oh WOW I must add this fennel pollen dish to my daily pint of Sungold tomatoes!! I adore Ci Siamo's way with vegetables — and their rabbit pasta is one of my favorite dishes in NYC!
I was actually thinking about you when I wrote this! (esp after your tomato photos). It is seriously good. And yes to that rabbit pasta. It's been a while since we've been back to NY and that will be the place I will want to go first.
It is such a wonderful ingredient — fennel distilled into its most perfect self. I first heard about it in a recipe in the Wall Street Journal years ago, and I haven’t been without it in my kitchen since. It’s brilliant on a simply roasted fillet of fish, like rainbow trout: just a drizzle of olive oil, a little salt, a couple of grinds of pepper, and a sprinkle of fennel pollen. Fantastically simple and delicious.
POV you make me these tomatoes 😋
I have tried fennel pollen, but the profile was so mild I didn’t pick up much. I suspect you have access to much better quality than I do

I love everything fennel. It’s a very popular and traditional ingredient in my hometown. But I don’t think I’ve ever had fennel pollen
Oh Giovanna you would love it! It’s like magic fennel fairy dust 😊. I love fennel too.
I have bought fennel pollen at Kalustyan’s in New York (they ship! Website below) but now have a great local supplier.

And the fennel is really subtle--it would be delicious on toast or with eggs!
