#games #salad with orange #italian cuisine Fennel is one of the oldest healing remedies known since ancient times. In the Middle Ages, it was considered a "magic plant", driving away evil spirits, giving strength and prolonging a person's life. Fennel is called a plant for weight loss due to its ability to improve metabolism. Fennel normalizes digestion, and also has many other useful properties. Despite the fact that fennel seeds with a spicy smell and sweet taste are best known in cooking, all its parts are used in food - the bulb, stem, leaves and fruits.
Ingredients: fennel, orange, red onion, hazelnuts, salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil, herbs optional
Cooking method:
Finely chop the fennel.
Peel off the skin of the orange, taking care to cut off the white part as well.
Then cut it into slices.
Cut the red onion very thinly into half rings.
Add hazelnuts cut in half. A little green parsley. Salt, pepper. Drizzle with cold pressed olive oil. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar if desired. Mix.
On a personal note, if you don't like onions, you can leave them out (I usually do this for myself 😉).
Bon Appetit.
