I found when I sliced 1.25 pounds of fennel, it was way too much- half a large mixing bow Perhaps I didn't trim it enough? Next time .75 lbs. With my largest frying pan & couldn't possibly fit a pound of greens, so I ended up using 3/4 of a pound. Also added more olive oil, as the lamb released more moisture than fat. As I cooked it seemed dubious and bland, but it tasted fairly good. It needed more salt. I served with red hot pepper flakes and people used them
