INSTRUCTIONS

In a small dry heavy skillet toast fennel seeds over moderate heat, shaking
skillet occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
In a blender blend seeds, vinegar, oil, and salt and pepper to taste until
emulsified.
In a large glass baking dish combine fennel marinade and all vegetables
except lettuce leaves and marinate, covered and chilled, overnight.
Divide vegetables among lettuce leaves, letting excess marinade drip off,
and roll up leaves to enclose vegetables. (Use wooden picks to secure
lettuce cones if necessary.)
Serves 6.
