ROASTED RED PEPPERS STUFFED WITH FENNEL



Roasted Red Peppers Stuffed with Fennel image

This delightful combination of flavours makes a very attractive first course. I love to serve the peppers on a faded antique plate that I have, which shows off their outstanding colour. The dish needs lots of really good bread, as there's always a profusion of fragrant juices. If you want to make the peppers ahead of time, cover with foil after cooling, but don't refrigerate them as this spoils the fragrant flavour.

Categories     Vegetarian recipes     Easy Entertaining     Christmas: Starters     Christmas: Vegetables

Yield Serves 4-6 as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large red peppers
sea salt
2 small bulbs fennel
1 x 14 oz (400 g) tin Italian plum tomatoes
8 dessertspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 rounded teaspoon mixed pepper berries
¾ level teaspoon whole coriander seeds
½ level teaspoon fennel seeds
juice ½ lemon
finely chopped spring onion for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice each pepper in half lengthways, cutting right through the green stalk end and leaving it intact; though it won't be eaten, it adds much to the look of the thing. Remove all the seeds. Place the pepper halves on the baking sheet, then drain the tomatoes (you don't need the juice), and divide them into eight equal portions, placing each portion inside a pepper half. You can watch how to prepare peppers by clicking on the Cookery School Video on this page. Now pare off any brownish bits of fennel with your sharpest knife and cut the bulbs first into quarters and then again into eighths, carefully keeping the layers attached to the root ends. Now put them in a saucepan with a little salt, pour boiling water on them and blanch them for 5 minutes. Then drain them in a colander and, as soon as they're cool enough to handle, arrange two slices in each pepper half. Sprinkle 1 dessertspoon of olive oil over each one, using a brush to brush the oil round the edges and sides of the peppers. Next, lightly crush the pepper berries, coriander and fennel seeds with a pestle and mortar or rolling pin and bowl, sprinkle these evenly all over the fennel and peppers, and finish off with a grinding of sea salt. Then bake the peppers for about 1 hour on a high shelf in the oven until they are soft and the skin wrinkled and nicely tinged with brown. After removing them from the oven, sprinkle the lemon juice all over, cool and serve garnished with a little finely chopped spring onion or as they are.

ROASTED FENNEL SALAD

Provided by Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 fennel bulb, fronds reserved
Olive oil, for frying
Fleur de sel (sea salt) and freshly ground black pepper
1 organic orange
1/2 small red onion
Handful small black olives
Handful toasted pine nuts
Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Trim the fennel, reserving a handful of green fronds. Cut into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Heat a little olive oil in a saute pan, and, working in batches and seasoning with salt and pepper as you go, fry the fennel on both sides until golden and tender. As the fennel is done, arrange it on a serving platter.
  • Zest the orange and set the zest aside. Remove the skin with a sharp knife, taking care to remove all the white pith from the fruit. Discard the peel. Cut out the orange sections, arranging over the fennel, and squeeze the orange juice over the whole salad.
  • Slice the onion into paper thin rings and arrange over the salad. Scatter over the olives and pine nuts. Squeeze over lemon juice, to taste. Drizzle over a little more olive oil. Finally, scatter over the reserved fennel fronds. Serve.

ROASTED PEPPER TARTINE



Roasted Pepper Tartine image

The hot, open-face tartine is a lunchtime staple in Paris's small neighborhood cafés and bistros. Like a piece of pizza, a tartine is constructed from a thick slice of rustic bread, lightly toasted. A savory topping and some good French cheese precede a few minutes of browning under the broiler. This tartine features garlicky roasted pepper strips (fresh or from a jar), a dab of sundried tomato purée (sliced fresh tomatoes in summer) and black olives. A thick slice of goat cheese makes a perfect pairing, or use Camembert if you prefer. Make a green salad to serve alongside for a quick light meal, or you may cut the tartine into small wedges to serve with drinks.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 roasted red or yellow bell peppers (good-quality jarred peppers are fine)
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large 1/2-inch-thick slices bread from a day-old rustic loaf, such as miche or pain au levain (about 6 by 4 inches)
4 tablespoons sun-dried tomato purée (optional)
12 black olives, pitted
4 ounces firm fresh goat cheese log or 4 ounces Camembert

Steps:

  • Remove and discard seeds from peppers, then slice peppers into strips 1/4-inch wide. Put strips in a small mixing bowl and season well with salt and pepper. Add marjoram, garlic and olive oil and stir to coat.
  • Put the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast lightly on both sides under broiler (or use a toaster and place toasted slices on baking sheet). Brush with sun-dried tomato purée, if using. Divide peppers among the 4 toasts and spread out to cover. Tuck the olives here and there.
  • Top each toast with 1/2-inch slices of goat cheese or Camembert (about 1 ounce total on each toast). Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, not too close to the heat, until nicely browned. Alternatively, bake tartines 3 to 5 minutes on top shelf of a 450-degree oven, or individually in a countertop toaster oven. Serve hot.

PASTA SALAD WITH SHRIMP, ROASTED PEPPERS, AND FENNEL



Pasta Salad with Shrimp, Roasted Peppers, and Fennel image

Categories     Salad     Pasta     No-Cook     Pine Nut     Shrimp     Fennel     Bell Pepper     Summer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
4 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 pound farfalle (bow-tie) pasta, freshly cooked, rinsed, drained
1 pound cooked deveined peeled shrimp, cut lengthwise in half
3 7.25-ounce jars roasted red peppers, drained, sliced, juices reserved
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced fresh fennel bulb
3/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Whisk first 4 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Add remaining ingredients and toss to blend. Add enough reserved roasted pepper juices by tablespoonfuls to moisten if salad is dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips

- To roast the red bell peppers, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and ribs, and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are charred and tender. - If you don't have fennel seeds, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of ground fennel or 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh fennel fronds. - Don't overcrowd the salad when you're assembling it. If you add too much, the dressing won't be able to coat everything evenly and the salad will be dry. - If you're making the salad ahead of time, don't add the dressing until just before serving. This will help prevent the salad from getting soggy. - Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for a few hours before serving.
