I intensely dislike anise and fennel, so I simply substituted white wine and it was delicious. Take care not to overcook the snow peas.
Marta Simmons
Very easy and delicious. As I don’t like anise I used white wine instead. Take care not to overcook the snow peas. We will be having this again often!
Eva Santos-Phillips
Quite easy and tasty. It reminded me of the Holidays because of the anise.
