Charred Fennel with Turmeric
Description
This is such a delicious starter/appetizer. Fennel is such a fragrant, crisp & light vegetable. If you need a light refreshing starter before a large main dish, then definitely consider making this! According to Ayurveda, fennel is sweet and stimulating and has both warming and cooling properties, a perfect combination to stimulate the appetite ready for the mains!
Ingredients
Fennel
Sauce
Instructions
-
Wash your fennel, chop the top stalks away, and cut into quarters.
-
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them pop and brown.
-
Add in the rest of the ingredients except the pumpkin seeds.
-
Continue to cook on medium heat, turning as needed, until golden brown for about 10-15 minutes. If you're like me and prefer a crispy finish, turn up the heat near the end to get that charred feel, but be sure to pay attention and turn them over fast; there's a thin line between charred and just burnt 😂.
-
Add all the sauce ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend till smooth
-
Serve hot or cold and sprinkle the roasted pumpkin seeds as garnish

♡ Say a little prayer, do a little dance, sprinkle a little love, and serve with happiness. ❤️
