Celery-Fennel Slaw #KitchenMatrixCookingProject


Another week, another recipe for the Kitchen Matrix Project, named after Mark Bittman's Kitchen Matrix cookbook. You can read about it: here. This month, I picked the recipes for the month am I'm very excited about the dishes and the bloggers who are joining me. And I am thrilled with how simple these recipes are to make.

This week, I picked 'Celery + 16 Ways' for the group. If you don't have the cookbook, Bittman's celery recipes are available online at the New York Times: here.

Celery-Fennel Slaw

I opted to make a celery slaw with fennel because it's what I had and I love those flavors together. I used a mandolin to get the slices thin and uniform.

Ingredients

  • 2 C shaved celery
  • 2 C shaved fennel
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • freshly ground salt
  • pinch of fennel pollen


Procedure
Place all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Toss to coat. Let stand for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to meld. Serve immediately.

  1. I totally had such a hard time choosing from all 16 versions. Your slaw sounds amazing.

    1. I know! I am definitely going to try the other 15 versions throughout the weeks. I am intrigued by the marinated celery. That's up next!

  2. I love fennel as well but wanted to tie in the other ingredients for the month. I should have stuck with the celery alone LOL

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

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.
