Notes from Craig
This recipe contains no added salt so it can be mixed with soy sauce and liquid smoke or smoked salt per the dish recipe.
There are many ways to crush fennel: the bottom of a solid glass, a wooden dowel, mortar & pestle are just a few.
Anise seeds are used in this recipe, and they are different than star anise.
Crush the fennel so it’s fragrant, but don’t grind it into a powder.
