Glazed Red Pepper Fennel Almonds Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Line heavy baking sheet with foil; spray with nonstick spray. Combine sugar, fennel seeds, crushed red pepper, and salt in medium bowl. Mix in almonds and 1 tablespoon water. Spread mixture on prepared baking sheet in single layer. Bake until sugar melts and almonds are deep golden brown and glazed, stirring often, about 22 minutes. Separate almonds with fork; cool completely on sheet. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Store in plastic bag.) Transfer almonds to bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Slice fennel lengthwise 1/4 inch thick. Coarsely crush almonds by firmly rolling over them with a rolling pin.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté fennel with garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in almonds, raisins, coriander, zest, juice, and saffron and sauté until raisins start to plump, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in cilantro just before serving at room temperature.

Steps:

• Place the fennel, peppers, onion and garlic in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with salt, pepper and rubbed sage. Toss to coat., Bake, uncovered, at 425° until tender, 20-25 minutes, stirring twice. Garnish with fresh sage if desired.

Steps:

• Trim outer layer of fennel bulbs; cut stalks from tops. Roughly chop enough green fronds for about 2 tablespoons; set aside. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice bulbs crosswise as thinly as possible. Discard tough core. Place sliced fennel bulbs and reserved chopped fronds in a salad bowl; add almonds.
• Make dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, oil, and salt, and season with pepper. Pour dressing over fennel mixture; toss well to combine. Serve immediately.
