This was delicious! Loved the fennel in this recipe. I also took Melinda's advice and added in some red pepper flakes – always a fan of a little extra spice.

I am newer to the site and I've been so happy with all the recipes I've tried so I decided to always be sure and share a review. I added some pepper flakes to spice the marinade up. The recipe was so good. I didn't realize I like fennel. Thank You!
