FENNEL, ROAST LEMON & TOMATO SALAD



Fennel, roast lemon & tomato salad image

Combine roasted lemon with fronds of fennel, cherry tomatoes, pomegranate and herbs to make this colourful summer salad. It makes a perfect sharing dish

Provided by Rosie Birkett

Categories     Lunch, Side dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lemons
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
pinch of sugar
500g mixed tomatoes (I used cherry tomatoes and some larger ones)
3 fennel bulbs
100g pomegranate seeds
1⁄2 small pack tarragon leaves
1⁄2 small pack parsley leaves
1⁄2 small pack mint leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Slice 1 lemon into thin rounds and spread out on the baking tray, drizzle over 1/2 tbsp oil and sprinkle over the sugar. Roast for 20-25 mins until shrivelled and caramelised in places. Keep an eye on them - you may have to take some out the oven before the others are done. These can be made in the morning and kept at room temperature.
  • While the lemons are cooking, roughly chop the tomatoes and thinly slice the fennel, saving the fronds. Put in a bowl with the remaining olive oil, juice from the other lemon and pomegranate seeds. Season to taste, then give everything a good mix.
  • When you're ready to serve, roughly chop all the herbs and mix them into the salad along with the roasted lemons and fennel fronds.

TOMATO & ROASTED LEMON SALAD FROM PLENTY MORE



Tomato & Roasted Lemon Salad from Plenty More image

Text excerpted from PLENTY MORE © 2017 by Yotam Ottolenghi ||| I cooked a recipe similar to this in Sardinia when I shot my Mediterranean Island Feast series last year. I was performing in front of two cameras and our small crew when suddenly a bunch of chirpy Aussie ladies arrived to check into the tiny hotel of my host, Robert Flore, in the remote Monte Ferru mountains. By coincidence, they had come straight from London, which they had visited especially in order to eat in the restaurants of their favorite chef; that chef turned out to be your humble servant. The raucous exhilaration was hard to contain, but it did, I must admit, seriously boost my performance. There's nothing like a noisy home crowd! Seek out the sweetest tomatoes you can for this salad in order to balance the bitterness of the lemon. You can bulk it up, as I did in Sardinia, by adding lots more leaves and fresh herbs and some cooked fregola. This will turn the salad into a whole meal. Otherwise, serve it with oven-roasted potatoes or panfried fish.

LEMON POTATO SALAD WITH MINT



Lemon Potato Salad With Mint image

This light and refreshing potato salad is the antithesis of the usual, creamy, mayonnaise-based recipes. The mint and scallion add a bright, herbal flavor while the sprinkle of chile lends a kick. Make this the morning you plan to serve it and let it marinate at room temperature all day long. Or refrigerate for longer storage but be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving. Other herbs like cilantro, parsley, tarragon and sage can be substituted for the mint; adjust the quantity to taste.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 278 g, Fat 14 g, Fiber 2 g

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The key to a great tomato salad is using ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slightly soft texture. Avoid tomatoes that are green or have blemishes.
  • Slice the tomatoes thinly: Thinly sliced tomatoes will absorb the dressing better and will be more tender. Use a sharp knife to slice the tomatoes evenly.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: For a more complex flavor, use a variety of tomatoes in your salad. Try using a combination of heirloom tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and Roma tomatoes.
  • Make a simple dressing: A simple dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, and mint is all you need to dress your tomato salad. You can also add a touch of garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Let the salad rest: After you've dressed the salad, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Tomato salad with lemon and mint is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy side dish, give this tomato salad a try.
