Cooking Recipe Charred New Potato & Fennel Salad
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Preparation time: 25 minutes. Cooking time: 25 minutes.
1. Set broiler rack about 6 inches from heat. Turn on broiler.
2. Toss potatoes and fennel in 1/4 cup olive oil; reserve any extra
oil. Spread in single layer on broiler pan. Lightly season with salt
and pepper. Broil until blistered and slightly blackened, turning
once, about 5 minutes per side. Bake in 400-degree oven until just
tender, about 15-20 minutes. Do not overcook potatoes.
3. When cool enough to handle, cut potatoes and fennel into 1/2-inch
dice. Toss with all oil, 6 tablespoons vinegar and remaining
ingredients. Season to taste. Add remaining tablespoon vinegar if
needed. Can be made several hours ahead and kept at room temperature
or a day ahead and refrigerated, covered airtight. Let come to room
temperature before serving. Adjust seasoning.
'This salad would be a great accompaniment to any grilled meat or
poultry. Try to make it several hours or a day ahead so the flavors
have a chance to deepen and meld together.'
