Shaved Fennel And Wild Mushroom Salad Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the arugula, oranges and fennel. Add the olive oil and lemon juice and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Put the shallot and vinegar in a ramekin, and set aside to macerate.
• Cut the fingers off the fennel bulb, and discard, and then peel the bulb. Slice the bulb very thinly into rings. Toss with the mushroom slices, and parsley leaves. Dress the mixture with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, to taste. Serve with Parmesan curls on top.

Steps:

• With a mandoline or vegetable peeler, cut the fennel, cucumber and apple into very thin slices. Transfer to a large bowl; toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Top with radishes and reserved fennel fronds to serve.

Steps:

• Remove the fronds from the fennel bulb and set aside. Cut away any tough stalks, then thinly slice the bulb using a sharp knife or ideally a mandoline. Tip the fennel slices into a bowl and, using your hands, scrunch through a large pinch of salt, the fennel seeds, if using, and the lemon juice. Cover and leave to stand at room temperature for at least 10 mins, or chill for up to a few hours.
• To serve, drizzle the pickled fennel with the olive oil, then toss through the rocket and reserved fennel fronds. Serve directly from the bowl or pile onto plates.

Steps:

• Squeeze 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into serving bowl and whisk with oil.
• Trim and wash fennel, removing top. Wash and thinly slice bulb end to make 1 1/2 cups. Stir into dressing.
• Wash, trim and dry mushrooms. Slice thinly and add to dressing.
• Season with freshly ground black pepper; arrange on two salad plates.
• Thinly slice Parmigiano to make 1/4 cup, and sprinkle on top of each salad.

Steps:

• Combine the lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl. (Preferably, this salad should be prepared right before serving.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Using a mandoline or a sharp, thin-bladed knife, slice the fennel as thin as possible. Place in a bowl. Toss with 2 tablespoons of the lemon and olive oil mixture.
• Scatter the fennel loosely over part of a serving platter. Using the mandoline or knife, slice the mushrooms in thin, almost transparent cross sections. Strew the mushrooms over the fennel pieces. Using a potato peeler or knife blade, make shavings of Parmesan. Scatter them over the mushrooms. Drizzle the remaining lemon and oil over the layers. Grind additional pepper over the top. Serve on a platter, leaving room for the vegetable salads below.
