Shaved Fennel Salad

Ingredients for Shaved Fennel Salad

• 300g coarsely torn sourdough bread

• 120ml walnuts

• 90ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling

• Sal kosher

• 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar

• 1 dente de alho, finamente ralado

• 1/4 colher de chá de flocos de pimenta vermelha triturada

• 2 fennel bulbs with fronds

• 3/4 cup torn mint leaves

• 1/2 limão

• 60g Parmesan, shaved

Preheat oven to 204°C. Place bread on one side of a rimmed baking sheet and walnuts on the other side (they cook at different rates). Drizzle bread with 3 tablespoons oil; season with salt. Toss, squeezing bread with your hands to help it absorb as much oil as possible, until evenly coated. Bake until walnuts are golden brown and croutons are deeply browned and very crisp, 8–10 minutes for walnuts, 12–15 minutes for croutons. Let cool, then coarsely chop walnuts.

Meanwhile, combine vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Let sit 10 minutes to let garlic mellow and flavour the vinegar.

Whisk 45ml oil into vinegar mixture, then add croutons and chopped walnuts. Season crouton mixture with some salt and toss to coat and let croutons soften slightly; set aside.

Remove stalks and fronds from fennel bulbs. Remove fronds from stalks and coarsely chop; thinly slice stalks. Place in a large bowl. Cut fennel bulbs in half and thinly slice on a mandoline (if you have one; if not, practice your knife skills). Add to same bowl along with mint. Zest lemon half over salad, then squeeze in juice. Season with salt and toss to combine.

Divide reserved crouton mixture among plates and top with half of the Parmesan. Arrange fennel salad over; top with remaining Parmesan and drizzle with oil.
