Fennel sprouts take 5-7 days to sprout. I did these in a jar, rinsed them once a day.
"What're you gonna do with them there sprouts?" is a question I get a lot.
Why, eat them, of course!
This is a colorful and crunchy salad with a delicious fennel flavor. Sweet and savory with the hint of black pepper, it's today's favorite.
I'm going to serve it as a side for ravioli with a simple marinara and some fresh baked bread.
Cut up kale, 2 cups
2 carrots, grated
1/4 cup fennel sprouts
2 tsp sesame oil
black pepper
pinch of salt
Juice of one orange
3 cloves garlic
Mix kale, carrots, fennel sprouts, sesame oil, pepper and salt in a large bowl
Blend together OJ and garlic and pour over the rest of the ingredients.
Mix well.
Let stand up 1 hour or overnight in the fridge.
Erik did NOT like this dish. Too much kale, fennel sprouts too strong. He doesn't like the fennel root, either. Try to remember that, Love, Me :)
ReplyDeleteI bought a sprouting book when I was in Sedona...
ReplyDeleteI gotta get to that :)
Sprouting is a great way to get cheap, fresh vegetables in the winter. Sprouts add wonderful new flavors and dimension to your food, cooked or raw, and are packed with nutrition.
ReplyDeleteGo for it Babetta! all you need is a jar and some seeds!
