Ingredients:
1/2 cup julienne sun-dried tomatoes
2 large bulbs fresh fennel (about 3/4 pound)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons pitted, chopped Nicoise or Kalamata olives
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Either purchase sun-dried tomatoes that are already re-hydrated
and packed in olive oil, or re-hydrate the less-expensive still-dry
tomatoes in hot water 20 minutes and pat them dry before slicing
into thin julienne strips. (Any extras can be stored in your own olive oil.)
Cut the fennel bulbs in half. Using a very sharp knife or a vegetable slicer
such as a mandolin, cut or shave paper-thin lengthwise slices of fennel into
a bowl. Combine all the remaining ingredients with the fennel in the bowl and
toss together. Marinate just a few
minutes, then serve with Grilled Shrimp.
