Getting vegetables right

[curlywurlyfi]

I haven't tried fennel, yet. If I see some that looks good I definitely will.

Fifi, try making a fennel gratin with potato, leek and stilton. Rowrrrrrrrr...

I've recently converted to roasting green beans with anchovies, OO, garlic + cherry tomatoes - or even just naked (the beans, the BEANS, not me). Honourable mention also goes to courgette fingers roasted in OO with rosemary + whole unpeeled garlic cloves, served with feta cheese crumbled over + a squeeze of lemon.

Marie-Louise,

A favourite way with daikon is to stir-fry it with small slices of beef and chinese celery (kan choy).

Julienne the daikon (add some julienned carrots too, if you like) and marinate some slices of beef with soy sauce, salt, sugar, sesame oil and a touch of cornstarch. Brown some minced garlic in a couple of tablespoons of oil, add the marinated beef slices and fry for a while before adding the julienned daikon, carrots and around 1/3 cup of water. Once the daikon and carrots are cooked, stir in some chopped chinese celery and serve.

Daikon is really good with soups....Chinese beef noodle soup, pork broth, etc.

Fennel is also my vegetable that I need to work more on.
