( OH YUM! YUM )) PHOODIE’S CARAMELISED FENNEL AND CABBAGE SALAD Food blogger Phoodie shares this unexpectedly tasty salad. What you’ll need: 3 fennel bulbs, finely sliced 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoon brown sugar 3 celery stalks, finely chopped ½ small green cabbage, finely sliced 2 Granny Smith apples, finely sliced Juice of 1 lemon, squeezed over apple slices 1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped For the dressing Juice of 2 lemons 1 clove garlic crushed 1 /3 cup extra virgin olive oil Salt and pepper, to taste How to make it: 1. Place the butter and oil into a pan over a low heat. 2. Place your finely sliced fennel into the pan and mix around to coat in butter and oil. Continue to stir the fennel on and off (so that it doesn’t stick to the base of the pan) until it becomes dark and caramelised. This may take some time so be patient! 3. Add the sugar to the caramelised fennel and cook for a further 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. 4. Finely dice the celery and cabbage and set aside. 5. Finely slice the apple and place in a bowl. Squeeze the juice from one lemon over it to stop it from turning brown. 6. Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well. 7. On your serving platter start layering all of the ingredients. Continue to layer until you’ve used everything. 8. Shake dressing again just before pouring over salad and giving it a good toss.
