  • 8 teaspoons lemon-infused olive oil

  • 2 medium red bell peppers, julienned

  • 2 medium yellow bell peppers, julienned

  • 7 stalks green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Crush the fennel seed in a mortar and mix with a little sea salt.

  3. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and green onions and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add chile pepper and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season the mixture with fennel seed-salt mixture and pepper.
