Insalata di Finocchi e Arance (Sicilian Fennel and Orange Salad) with fennel, oranges and black olives — Italy recipe

🇮🇹ItalyEasy

Salads

Insalata di Finocchi e Arance (Sicilian Fennel and Orange Salad)

Insalata di finocchi e arance is a classic Sicilian salad of thinly sliced fennel and oranges, dressed with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, with black olives. It is the contrast of sweet, juicy orange and crisp, anise-scented fennel — bright and refreshing. It comes from Sicily, where most of Italy's citrus is grown, and the orange salad is a legacy of the Arab rule of the island (9th-11th centuries): it was the Arabs who brought citrus into Sicilian cooking. It is a winter dish, since oranges (especially blood oranges, tarocchi) are in season in winter, served as an antipasto or contorno through the cold months. The salad is a fine example of Sicilian agrodolce, sweet and salty: the sweetness of the orange balanced by salty black olives and crisp fennel. Technical keys: peel the oranges to the flesh, cutting away the bitter white pith; slice the fennel very thinly; let the acidity come from the orange, not vinegar; black olives for the agrodolce contrast; blood oranges for the classic Sicilian version; and good fruity olive oil, since there are few ingredients. Save the orange juice that runs out — it is the base of the dressing. Serve at room temperature, the best winter citrus, sliced thin, with excellent oil.

Ají de Gallina (Peruvian Creamy Chicken)

Ají de gallina is one of Peru's most cherished comfort dishes — shredded poached chicken folded into a velvety golden sauce built on ají amarillo, the fruity yellow chili at the heart of Peruvian cooking. Milk-soaked bread and ground walnuts thicken it, while parmesan adds a salty, umami edge. Mildly spicy and rich, it's spooned over rice with boiled yellow potatoes, olives, and hard-boiled egg — a fusion of Spanish and Andean roots.

Causa Limeña with yellow potatoes, ají amarillo paste and lime juice — Peru recipe

🇵🇪PeruMedium

Appetizers and Sandwiches

Causa Limeña

Causa is a cold layered dish from Lima built on Peruvian yellow potato mashed with ají amarillo, lime juice and oil until it forms a pliable, saffron-coloured dough. Two layers of that dough enclose a filling, most often chicken bound with mayonnaise, sometimes tuna, crab or prawn, with avocado slid in between. The name is usually traced to the Quechua word kawsay, meaning sustenance and also the potato itself, although a patriotic origin story attached to the War of the Pacific circulates as well. It is served chilled as a starter, and because it is assembled in a mould and cut, it holds its shape on the plate. Chilling time comes on top of the stated time.
