Roasted Fennel And Orange Salad Food

FENNEL AND ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Working in a circle, cut the peel and white pith from the orange using a small sharp knife. Halve the orange lengthwise and then slice into half-moons. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the fennel, oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss to coat. Serve sprinkled with fennel fronds.

ORANGE FENNEL SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the fronds from the fennel bulbs and reserve some of the feathery leaves for later. Cut each fennel bulb in half and remove the cores with a sharp knife.
• Fit a food processor with the thinnest slicing blade. Cut the fennel bulbs into wedges and place horizontally into the feed tube. Process in batches. Peel each orange, remove the pith with a knife, and slice. Set aside.
• For the dressing: Whisk together the oil, juice, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper in a small bowl. Place the fennel slices, oranges slices and arugula in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss together. Sprinkle with salt and add some fennel fronds for decoration.

ORANGE AND FENNEL SALAD

Steps:

• Place the sliced fennel in a salad bowl. Slice oranges to divide flesh sections and add to bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper. Toss, top with sweetened cranberries and serve.

ROASTED FENNEL AND ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Trim the fronds from the fennel and reserve. Remove the stalks and cut a slice off the base of each fennel about 1/4 inch thick. Slice each fennel into 6 wedges, place in a baking dish and drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Season well. Bake 40-45 minutes or until the fennel is tender and slightly caramelized. Turn once or twice during cooking. Allow to cool.
• Cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of each orange. Using a sharp knife, slice the skin and pith off the oranges. Remove as much pith as possible. Slice down the side of a segment between the flesh and the membrane. Repeat with the other side and lift the segment out. Do all the segments on both. Squeeze out any juice remaining in the membranes.
• Whisk the remaining oil into the orange juice and the lemon juice until emulsified. Season well. Combine the orange segments, onion and olives in a bowl, pout on half the dressing and add half the mint. Top with the roasted fennel, drizzle with the remaining dressing, and scatter the parsley and remaining mint over the top. Chop the reserved fronds and sprinkle over the salad.

ROASTED FENNEL, ORANGE, AND TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Cut fennel bulbs into 1-inch wedges. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle fennel with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast at 400 degrees until golden, 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Arrange on a platter with watercress, avocado, sliced oranges, and tuna. Juice 1/2 an orange and whisk in an equal amount of vinegar; whisk in olive oil and season. Drizzle over salad.

FENNEL, BEET AND ORANGE SALAD WITH CUMIN VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk together lemon or lime juice, sugar, cumin, salt, optional garlic and olive oil. Toss with the salad and serve.

ORANGE, FENNEL & ROCKET SALAD

Steps:

• Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, shred the fennel into thin slices.
• Remove the skin of the oranges with a knife and gently cut out the segments. Do this over a bowl to catch all the juice for the dressing. Squeeze any excess from the oranges after they have been segmented.
• Tip the onion into a bowl with the fennel, orange segments and rocket leaves.
• To make the dressing, combine the juice from the oranges with the olive oil and mustard. Drizzle over the salad and serve.

ROASTED CARROT, SPELT, FENNEL & BLOOD ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cook the spelt with the stock cube following pack instructions - don't overcook it, as it should still have a little nutty bite. When the spelt is done, drain it very well and toss on a platter with 1 tbsp of the extra virgin olive oil to stop it from sticking together too much.
• Meanwhile, toss the carrots with the olive oil, blood orange zest and some seasoning in a roasting tin, then roast for 15 mins. Carefully stir through half the honey with the fennel. Continue roasting for another 10 mins, then cool for 5 mins. Cut away the pith and peel from the 2 zested oranges, then roughly chop or slice.
• Whisk together the remaining extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp honey, red wine vinegar and the blood orange juice with some seasoning. Scrape the roasted carrots and fennel plus any cooking juices on top of the spelt, along with the orange chunks, red onion, herbs and olives. Drizzle over the dressing and toss everything together well. The salad will happily hold at room temperature for a few hours, but the spelt will soak up the dressing - so if you're making it ahead, add half the dressing when assembling and stir through the rest just before you serve it. As you serve, stir through the parsley, if you like.
