This post provides a detailed recipe for preparing an Egg and Fennel Salad. It includes a list of ingredients, recommended equipment, and step-by-step instructions. Key steps involve boiling eggs, soaking fennel in lemon water, preparing orange and cucumber, and combining all ingredients with chopped mint before serving the salad with egg quarters on top.
Ingredients for Egg and Fennel Salad
2 medium Eggs
1 fresh Fennel
1 Lemon
1 Orange
1 Cucumber
Bunch of fresh Mint
Equipment
Small pot
Small bowl
Large mixing bowl
Grater
Small knife
Chopping board
Method
Prepare a small pot with water and cover to bring to the boil. Add the eggs and leave to cook for around 10 minutes.
Fill up a bowl with cold water, squeeze the lemon juice and put rest of lemon in water. This is for later on to immerse the fennel in so that it retains its nice white colour.
Clean the fennel by trimming its extra long stalk and green bits to be left with just its bulb (watch video at 2:15 to see how) Slice the fennel as thinly as possible and put it in your prepared lemon bowl. Leave it there to soak for the time being.
Grate the orange zest as finely as you can, slice the orange into segments and squeeze the juice out of whatever you’re left with (watch video from 5:40 to see how) Put both zest, orange segments and juice into a separate bowl.
Cut the cucumber lengthwise and remove the seeds by scraping them with a teaspoon. Then slice the cucumber diagonally to give it a nice shape.
The eggs should be ready by now; remove from heat and cool them under cold running water. Once cold, you can remove their shells. Cut into quarters and leave on the side until you can plate.
Start chopping the mint roughly and add it to the bowl with oranges.
Drain the fennel and add it to the bowl too. Combine all ingredients by hand thoroughly and plate. Place egg quarters on top of the salad.
