SHAVED CARROT AND FENNEL SALAD WITH HONEY VINAIGRETTE
I love the flavors in this slaw-type salad. The licorice flavor from the fennel, the sweetness of the carrots, and the tangy-tart apricots meld to create a party in your mouth. And it's so colorful, too. Even better, this salad gets better over time, so it's a great make-ahead side dish.

Steps:
- Cover farro with cold water in a bowl and soak 30 minutes, then drain in a colander.
- Bring farro, stock, and water (2 cups) to a boil in a 4-quart heavy pot, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until farro is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in colander.
- While farro cooks, mince garlic and mash to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt using a large heavy knife. Transfer to a large bowl and add fennel, olives, oil, vinegar, pepper, and remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt.
- Cut carrots into 3/4-inch-thick long diagonal slices with slicer, then, using a knife, cut slices into 3/4-inch-thick matchsticks. Add carrots to fennel mixture along with drained farro and parsley, tossing to combine well.
Tips:
- Choose the right fennel: Look for fennel bulbs that are firm and have tightly packed layers. Avoid bulbs that are bruised or have yellow or brown spots.
- Trim the fennel properly: Cut off the tough outer layer of the fennel bulb and remove the feathery leaves. Then, slice the bulb into thin strips.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for sautéing fennel and carrots. It has a rich flavor that will enhance the taste of the vegetables.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing fennel and carrots, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly.
- Cook the vegetables over medium heat: Medium heat is the best temperature for sautéing fennel and carrots. This will allow the vegetables to cook through without burning.
- Season the vegetables well: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for sautéed fennel and carrots. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: Sautéed fennel and carrots are best served immediately. This will ensure that the vegetables are still hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Sautéed fennel and carrots is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The fennel and carrots are sautéed in olive oil until they are tender and slightly caramelized. The dish is then seasoned with salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. Sautéed fennel and carrots can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
