Sauteed Fennel with Almonds, Saffron and Raisins
by admin on Jan.24, 2009, under Uncategorized
5:30 p.m. Sunday, Ben and I are hosting: 1201 NE 21st Ave.
I’ve never had fennel, and have been obsessing over this fact of late. So let’s double this recipe.
We need:
- 4 fennel bulbs (2 pound total), stalks discarded — I will track this down.
- 1/2 cup whole almonds (preferably Marcona), lightly toasted- Me.
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil – Me.
- 20 garlic cloves, finely chopped – Have some, need more.
- 1/2 cup raisins – Me.
- 4 teaspoons whole coriander seeds – ???
- 1 teaspoon grated orange – Me.
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice- Me.
- Pinch of saffron threads, crumbled (can use turmeric instead) - ???
- 1 cup chopped cilantro – Me.
Should we have it with rice or quinoa, maybe?
If so, we still need:
- A head (or partial head) of garlic, to supplement what I have on hand.
- 4 teaspoons whole coriander seeds.
- rice or quinoa.
- optional: saffron threads if somebody has saffron already. If not, we can substitute in turmeric, which Ben and I have.
- Beverages.
PS - I created an account at maximumportland,com, but can’t figure out how to post there. Maybe a switch needs to be flipped before I have that power?

I’ve upgraded Courtney’s account on maximumportland.com to administrator and set up FTP access for her and Michael as well.
I’ll bring coriander seeds, garlic, quinoa, and wine.

OK, Mike posted after I opened this page but before I posed my comment.
So, I’ll bring wine and juice.

I opine that to receive the credit loans from banks you should have a firm motivation. Nevertheless, once I’ve received a car loan, because I was willing to buy a car.
