Cooler weather calls for rich and flavoursome ingredients. This delicious comforting fennel and haricot bean bake, from our friends at Sabato, features tender fennel, sweet onion, and hearty beans. Simple to prepare and perfect as a side dish or on it’s own; it goes down particularly well with a glass of our favourite award-winning Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs.
