Fennel Carpaccio With Blood Oranges And Black Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Over a bowl, cut the peel and pith from the oranges and cut the sections free from the membranes. Squeeze the membranes over the orange sections, then discard.
• Divide the fennel, orange sections, and olives among 4 salad plates. Drizzle the juice from the oranges over the salad and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Cut peel and pith from oranges. Cut between membranes to release segments.
• Toss orange segments, fennel, onion, mint, and oil in large bowl to coat. Season salad generously to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer salad to platter. Garnish with olives and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil; have ready a second rimmed baking sheet.
• Trim the tops from the fennel bulbs and coarsely chop 1/4 cup of the fronds; discard the stalks. Remove the outer layers of the fennel and halve each bulb through the root end. Thinly slice each bulb. Thinly slice one of the limes and quarter the other.
• Pat each fish dry and coat each lightly with a teaspoon oil. Generously season fish inside and outside with salt and pepper. Transfer fish to the foil-lined baking sheet. Stuff each cavity with slices of lime and orange, fennel fronds and garlic.
• Toss sliced fennel with 3 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread on the remaining baking sheet. Transfer fish and fennel to the oven; roast fennel, tossing occasionally, until golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Bake fish until it is just opaque, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve fish drizzled with more olive oil and squeeze fresh lime juice on top. Serve with fennel on top or alongside.

Steps:

• Heat a large dry pan, add the fennel seeds and cook for 1-2 mins until fragrant. Add the citrus zests, bay leaves, rosemary and chillies, then cook for 30 secs more. Tip in the olives and add the olive oil. Mix well and cook for 1-2 mins, then turn off the heat and leave to cool in the pan before serving. Will keep in a plastic container in the fridge for up to 1 week - bring to room temperature before eating.
