Fennel Cucumber And Tarragon Salsa Recipes

FENNEL, CUCUMBER, AND TARRAGON SALSA

Steps:

• In a bowl stir together the fennel, the cucumber, the tarragon, the zest, the yogurt, the orange juice, the sugar, and salt to taste. Chill the salsa, covered, for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. Serve the salsa with grilled seafood.

FENNEL AND CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Trim the fennel, leaving only the white bulb at the bottom. Cut the bulb in half and cut into thin slices.
• Split the cucumbers in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Slice them crosswise.
• Place the slices of fennel and cucumber in a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to blend. Check the seasoning and serve.

CUCUMBER FENNEL SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, onion and fennel. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the remaining ingredients; shake well. Pour over cucumber mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate until chilled.

CANAPES OF CUCUMBER AND TARRAGON

Steps:

• Peel the cucumbers. Slice each about one-eighth-inch thick and spread the slices on paper towels to remove excess moisture. You should have about 40 slices.
• Mix the cream cheese and tarragon together. Place about a teaspoon of this mixture on half the cucumber slices. It is not necessary to spread the cream cheese mixture evenly. Top each with a plain slice of cucumber, pressing it down gently to squash the cream cheese underneath so it fills the sandwich without oozing out.
• Arrange the slices on a platter and refrigerate up to two hours before serving.

CUCUMBER & FENNEL SALAD

Steps:

• Put cucumber in a sieve. Sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and the sugar, then leave for 10 mins. Add fennel.
• Mix soured cream, lemon juice, vinegar and dill, then season with black pepper and add to fennel mix.

TUNA SALAD WITH FENNEL, CUCUMBER AND TARRAGON

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the shallot, vinegar, oil, sugar and tarragon. Add the fennel and cucumber and toss. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add the tuna to the salad and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the salad into lettuce leaves or pita bread and serve.

LINGUINE AND CLAMS WITH TOMATO-FENNEL SALSA

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, chopped fennel, red onion, basil, olive oil and orange peel in medium bowl. Season salsa with salt and pepper.
• Bring wine, fennel seeds, salt and garlic to boil in very large pot. Reduce heat, cover tightly and simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors. Add clams. Increase heat to high, cover and cook until clams open, about 7 minutes (discard any clams that do not open.) Using slotted spoon, transfer clams to bowl. Strain clam cooking liquid through fine strainer; return to same pot. Boil until liquid is reduced to 1 2/3 cups, about 7 minutes. Add tomato salsa and bring to simmer. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, cook linguine in large pot with tomato mixture. Season with salt and pepper; toss to blend. Add clams; stir over medium heat until heated through, about 3 minutes.
