Directions:
In a large pot, heat the olive oil and soften the garlic, onion, fennel and bell pepper. Add the tomatoes, wine and seasoning. Simmer until the veggies are tender. Add the Pernod or Ouzo and simmer a few minutes more to cook off the alcohol. This can be done ahead of time. Shortly before serving, heat the base to a simmer and add the seafood. Cook on low until done. Sprinkle with fennel leaves and serve.
