We are on the road to light, easy and tasty this week! Fennel and rice salad – tangy and very tasty (not to mention very easy)! I should had served a nice warm crusty loaf of bread with it but did not have time to pick one up today. Dessert … some simple cubes of a wonderfully fresh cantaloupe!
Tag Archives: Fennel
Woked a veggie stir fry – red & purple bell peppers, zucchini, yellow patty pan squash and some young red onions. Very simple with some olive oil and then a sprinkling of a new Tuscan salt. The highlight was a grilled Branzini, which I stuffed with a mixture of fennel, red onion, oregano and Meyer lemon – first time grilling and eating a Branzini, it was wonderful – peeled off nicely from the skin & bones, it was light, moist and very flavorful!
Made a Fantastic Eggplant Parmesan – fantastic, really!!!! It had a slightly spicy tomato base sauce. I used some dry farmed tomatoes I had frozen from last winter – very very flavorable . Then we moved to a grilled Niman Ranch Chili Marinated Beef Bavette, which I found when I picked up the lamb sausage. This cut was incredibly tender & juicy with excellend flavor - one of our new summer time favorite cuts for the grill! Really tasty! We had a salad course next. Baby butter lettuce with some chopped up baby red onions and fennel. I made a balsamic goat cheese dressing & sprinkled the crazy black salt flakes, I found last week, over the top – yum! For dessert I whipped up some Vanilla Bean ice cream! |
