Rancho Gordo New World Specialty Food, Napa CA

True confessions: The idea of fresh fennel is not very appealing to me. I like the flavor of anise well enough but not enough to embrace it, and yet every time I eat fennel, I am happy.?

I have very strong associations with wild fennel growing in empty lots and construction sites. It's a hardy bulb and it seems to be fine next to machinery and cyclone fencing, not the stuff of a food lover's dream. But when you cook it, it caramelizes and mellows in an amazing way. A big chunk of raw fennel doesn't work but when you slice it razor-thin, it's delightful. Exceptionally good.?

For this salad, I used my cheap Japanese mandoline slicer. I have done some major damage to my hands in the past but now I can't do without it. My advice is to not take your eyes off the blade, not even for an instant. And don't try and use that last little bit of whatever you're slicing. Now is not the time to be frugal. Throw the extra chunks into the compost bucket to save them for soup and stocks. If you still refuse to try the mandoline, practice your knife skills and slice as thin?as you can. Alternatively, you might experiment with a vegetable peeler or even a grater. Keep in mind, the thinner the cut, the mellower the flavor.?

Garbanzo Salad with Shaved Red Onions and Fennel

This is the kind of salad that is often described as a good side dish for roasted meat or chicken but I think it's an excellent dinner in itself. The crunch of the vegetables and the texture of the garbanzos shouldn't be underestimated.?

I know I drive some of you nuts with vague measurements but it's a salad. Start with the olive oil and then add the pineapple vinegar as desired. I like it snappy, to match my personality, but you might be more mellow and want to use less. That's the magic of cooking!?

1 fennel bulb
1 cup cooked Rancho Gordo Garbanzos, drained
? red onion, sliced thin, preferably with a mandoline
Fresh parsley, chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt, pepper to taste
Rancho Gordo Pineapple Vinegar (or your favorite light vinegar)

Serves 2

Cut the fennel bulb in half, removing the old, tough outer skin if necessary. You can also cut out any brown spots or blemishes. Slice each half of the fennel on a thin setting with a mandoline. Alternately, slice as thinly as possible with a kitchen knife.?

Toss the fennel in a bowl with the garbanzos, onion, and parsley. Add olive oil to barely coat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Slowly sprinkle in drops of the pineapple vinegar and mix. Adjust the vinegar and salt.?

Serve chilled or room temperature.?

Thank you for all the messages for the staff here in Napa during the recent fires. It's a real challenge for a lot of us, especially the families with kids who were schooling from home because of the coronavirus. Add a heatwave, power outages, and putrid air, and one starts wondering when Godzilla arrives to complete the picture.

Now it's a new day and the air seems good, none of us lost our homes, we're healthy, and most of all, grateful.?

- Steve Sando
