Insalata di finocchi e arance rosse- Sicilian salad

This is one of my favourite early spring salads and a good way to say farewell to two great winter products- fennel and blood oranges.

Although this recipe originated in Sicily, my family has adopted it long ago with great pleasure- it's a perfect blend of sweet and salty flavours, with a "kick" of licorice taste provided by the fennel..all tied together but a generous amount of Extra Virgin!

Farinata con cavolo nero

Farinata con cavolo nero

During such a cold winter it’s all but natural to turn to earthy, warm comfort food.
This typical rustic Farinata (or porridge) is made with two key winter ingredients- polenta and black kale. It’s pure peasant food- thicker than a soup, it’s a full meal on its own.
