Saturday Beefcake Fennel Chronicles from 2007: Fennel & Gorgonzola

By -


Okay, it's the last holiday weekend of the Summer and you're grilling like nobody's business. We've offered a salad for openers and a soup for the first course. This salad is for those non-vegan vegetarians who prefer their men to be beefy as opposed to their main courses.

Fennel Bulb, halved lengthwise, cored and sliced thin
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, two tablespoons
Fresh Lemon Juice, one tablespoon
Black Grapes, seeded, halved, about one half cup
Gorgonzola Cheese, crumbled, about one half cup
Radicchio, thinly sliced, one cup
Romaine, thinly sliced, one cup

1. Toss fennel, oil, lemon juice, salt pepper in a salad bowl. Let stand ten minutes.
2. Add grap[es, cheese, radicchio and romaine. Toss that salad.




The kitchen, of course, is thoroughly cleaned.

Julio Rocha is joining us ths time around.

"Have we been waiting for something like this since Billie, then Dinah passed on--i.e. groovy, in-the-tradition jazz singing that actually means something? Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro
