SHAVED FENNEL, MUSHROOM AND PARMESAN SALAD



Shaved Fennel, Mushroom and Parmesan Salad image

A tangle of paper-thin raw fennel and cremini mushrooms tossed with olive oil, lemon and shaved Parmesan cheese makes a cool and elegant salad. You can prepare the fennel, mushrooms and cheese a few hours ahead of time and refrigerate, covered, but don't dress the salad until you are ready to serve it-it gets softer as it sits, and you want the vegetables to retain some bite.

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lemon, finely zested and juiced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces cremini mushrooms
2 small bulbs fennel with fronds (about 2 1/2 pounds)
One 2-ounce hunk Parmesan

Steps:

  • Use a fork to whisk the lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the mushrooms very thin. Put them in a serving bowl and toss with about 2 teaspoons of the olive oil mixture.
  • Chop enough of the fennel fronds to make about 2 tablespoons (reserve the rest for another use). Trim the tops and bottoms from the fennel bulbs and halve the bulbs; slice off most of the core (leaving on a bit helps keep the bulb intact). Using the mandoline, shave the fennel bulbs almost paper thin from the root to the top end right over the mushrooms. Add the fennel fronds and the lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Shave the Parmesan over the salad using a vegetable peeler. Drizzle the remaining olive oil mixture around the edge of the bowl and toss everything gently but well to combine.

FENNEL AND CELERY SALAD WITH LEMON AND PARMESAN



Fennel and Celery Salad With Lemon and Parmesan image

This crisp, lemony salad of raw fennel and celery (you could add thinly sliced celery root to the salad as well) makes a refreshing start to a meal, garnished with radishes and slightly bitter Treviso or radicchio leaves. It could also be a light meal on its own. Don't slice the vegetables paper-thin; you want the salad to have some crunch. You may prepare the vegetables up to an hour in advance and keep refrigerated, but don't dress the salad more than 10 minutes before serving.

Shaved Fennel and Chickpea Salad image

While a mandoline may seem "chef-y," it's actually a great tool for making perfectly thin slices of potato, beet, fennel and more. It is the most dangerous tool in the kitchen, but I'll show you some ways to use it safely and easily.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked in plenty of water overnight
1 rib celery, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 small onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 strips lemon peel
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 sprigs rosemary
Salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 sprigs basil
1 large pinch chili flakes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 large bulb fennel
1 Asian pear

Steps:

  • Put the soaked chickpeas in a medium saucepan along with about three quarts of water, and set over medium-high heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, and cook 1-2 hours, depending on the age of the chickpeas.
  • Tie the celery, carrot, onion, lemon peel, 1 garlic clove, and rosemary in a piece of cheesecloth and add it to the pot. Season the beans generously with salt and add 1/4 cup of olive oil.
  • Once the beans are cooked, remove from heat, drain (reserving the liquid, if you like), and let cool completely. Combine lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and remaining olive oil in a small mixing bowl. Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of this dressing over the chickpeas. Add remaining garlic clove to chickpeas and toss to coat. Smash the basil sprigs with the side of a knife and add to the chickpeas. Add a pinch of chili flakes, and let the chickpeas marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Trim the fennel bulb, saving the fronds for a garnish. Halve the bulb lengthwise, and shave both halves into paper-thin slices with a mandoline. Quarter the Asian pear, discard the core, and shave into paper-thin slices. Combine with the fennel.
  • Assembly: Remove basil and garlic from the chickpeas, and discard. Combine chickpeas with shaved fennel and pear and remaining dressing. Toss gently to coat. Taste and season with salt, if desired. Garnish the salad with coarsely chopped fennel fronds. Serve immediately.

SHAVED FENNEL SALAD



Shaved Fennel Salad image

This is an antidote to every side salad that ever was. Instead of meh greens, it's got shavings of fennel that bend and twist but keep their refreshing crunch. It's got a lean dressing and nuggets of deeply toasted croutons, meaty walnuts, and shards of Parmesan. It has acidity and zing-lemon juice, the zest, vinegar, mint, and red pepper flakes-just in case you were worried about palate fatigue. This is what salad looks like in 2018.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups coarsely torn sourdough bread
1/2 cup walnuts
6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt
3 Tbsp. sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, finely grated
¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 fennel bulbs with fronds
3/4 cup torn mint leaves
1/2 lemon
2 oz. Parmesan, shaved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place bread on one side of a rimmed baking sheet and walnuts on the other side (they cook at different rates). Drizzle bread with 3 Tbsp. oil; season with salt. Toss, squeezing bread with your hands to help it absorb as much oil as possible, until evenly coated. Bake until walnuts are golden brown and croutons are deeply browned and very crisp, 8-10 minutes for walnuts, 12-15 minutes for croutons. Let cool, then coarsely chop walnuts.
  • Meanwhile, combine vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Let sit 10 minutes to let garlic mellow and flavor the vinegar.
  • Whisk 3 Tbsp. oil into vinegar mixture, then add croutons and chopped walnuts. Season crouton mixture with some salt and toss to coat and let croutons soften slightly; set aside.
  • Remove stalks and fronds from fennel bulbs. Remove fronds from stalks and coarsely chop; thinly slice stalks. Place in a large bowl. Cut fennel bulbs in half and thinly slice on a mandoline (if you have one; if not, practice your knife skills). Add to same bowl along with mint. Zest lemon half over salad, then squeeze in juice. Season with salt and toss to combine.
  • Divide reserved crouton mixture among plates and top with half of the Parmesan. Arrange fennel salad over; top with remaining Parmesan and drizzle with oil.

ZUCCHINI-AND-FENNEL SALAD WITH PECORINO AND MINT



Zucchini-and-Fennel Salad With Pecorino and Mint image

In 2007, if you were looking for a sign of the culinary times, you could do no better than the one prominently displayed in San Francisco, in my local Übermarket for the conscientious shopper: "Organic Summer Squash, $3.99 a pound." Our growing food fetishization created a new produce category: luxury squash. I was disturbed but also intrigued: perhaps familiarity had blinded me to squash's delicate charms - at these prices it clearly deserved more than a typically bland sauté or a quick turn on the grill. Given its etymology (the word "squash" comes from a Native American word meaning "eaten raw"), maybe it shouldn't be cooked at all. So I swallowed hard, bought some zucchini and shaved them into a salad with fennel, mint and pecorino, which made a delicious and interesting starter.
