Received some fennel pollen as part of my Secret Santa, recipes, please?

A good way to use fennel pollen would be to incorporate into a soup or pasta! I would use it in a cream sauce of some sort start off by sautéing two cloves of minced garlic I shallot sliced and chirrizzo on medium heat for 3-4 min or until the shallot has become translucent, next add some grape tomatoes and pancetta about 1/4 cup each keep in mind seasoning all of this with your favorite spices cumin and coriander work well along side of the chirrizzo. After sautéing the tomatoes and pancetta add 1/4 white wine to deglaze and then add 3/4 c cream after the wine has reduced half way. Let te cream simmer for 6-8 min the. Add your favorite noodles ( farfalie would be fun for family occasions) hope you enjoy!!

If you make jam, there's a wonderful recipe for fig preserves with honey and wild aromatics on Kevin West's blog, Saving the Season: http://www.savingtheseason... One of the commenters suggests using it in risotto. I Googled "fennel pollen recipes" and there was a pretty good return. Here are some of the top ones, but you might want to peruse the listing for yourself:

I add them towards the end of roasting a duck or pork. Also sprinkle them on yogurt along with a drizzle of honey.
