Sausage Stew with cracked fennel

Method

1. Start by prepping your olive oil, garlic, yellow onion so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the fennel bulb in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the sausage, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the kosher salt along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a squeeze of lemon right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
