Counted as bulb; medium fennel bulb about 200 g.
Instead of Fennel bulb
CeleryUse the same weight, sliced; add 2 g fennel seed per 100 g to mimic the aniseed note. Texture is stringier and less sweet.
OnionUse the same weight, sliced; add 2 g fennel powder per 100 g. It is sweeter and softer, with no crunchy bulb texture.
Fennel seedUse only 2–3 g per 100 g of missing bulb, tied in a cloth or ground; it gives the flavour but not the vegetable bulk.
