Roasted Asparagus with Shaved Fennel #BakingBloggers

By

Today, Sue of Palatable Pastime and Wendy of A Day in the Life have the Baking Bloggers baking with Spring vegetables. Here's today's celebration of Spring...


Roasted Asparagus with Shaved Fennel
Whenever I see fennel in our High Ground Organics CSA and at the farmers' markets, I know that it must be Spring! I use fennel in place of onions whenever I can. This is a mostly hands-off veggie side dish that is amazing in taste and texture. Did I mention 'hands off'?? It was the perfect addition to our Spring table. I like to serve these on a platter with my Butter-Braised Radishes over Little Gems.

Ingredients serves 10
  • 2 bunches of asparagus
  • 1 fennel bulb, trimmed and shaved (I used my mandolin slicer)
  • large flake salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • olive oil
Procedure

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Snap off the last inch of the asparagus stem and discard - or save for a veggie stock. Lay your asparagus on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lay shaved fennel on top of the spears. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with flake sale and freshly ground pepper. Roast for 20 minutes. 

That's it! Delicious Spring-y goodness.

    Roasted asparagus is one of my favorites. Never thought to add fennel to it. I'm sure it's amazing. Can't wait to try it.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
