About

The fennel pollen in this dish gives it an amazing depth of flavor. Add more or less depending on how much you like the flavor of licorice. If you don't like licorice at all, don't be scared off. WIth just 1 teaspoon the flavor is very mild, but really enhances the flavor of lamb. Since fennel pollen is expensive, try to get a small and more tender leg of lamb to go with it.
