Celery-Fennel Slaw #KitchenMatrixCookingProject

By

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.

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

      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!

    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

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."

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
