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...

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...
