  • Cut bacon into strips, fennel into thin wedges and shallot into thick slices.
  • Pan-fry the bacon crispy and place on a paper towel to drain off.
  • Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and sauté fennel and shallot. It should not get brown.
  • Crush the garlic and add to the pan with white wine.
