Ingredients

Flat bread with caramelized fennel and goat's cheese

• Choice of flatbread

• Caramelized fennel

• 100 g / 3 oz. soft goat cheese

• Arugula (arugula)

• 1 tbsp. olive oil

• Juice of ½ lemon

 Caramelized fennel

• 2 large fennel bulbs

• Coconut oil

• Sea salt

• 4 tbsp. fennel seeds

Preparation

• Clean fennel and remove stalk if present. Cut into thin strips from the head to the base of the bulb.

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the fennel strips in the pan, making sure they all touch the surface (not one on top of the other). Sprinkle with sea salt. Do not stir for a few minutes.

• When all the strips are golden-brown, turn them over to the other side. When the second side is also golden-brown, add the fennel seeds and maple syrup and cook for 1 minute.

• Stir to coat all the pieces with the syrup and remove the fennel from the pan. Repeat until all the fennel is cooked.

Procedure

• Preheat oven to 350°F. 

• Place desired flatbread on a baking sheet, and add caramelized fennel and crumbled goat cheese. Sprinkle with a little salt.

• Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.

• While the bread is baking, clean and pat dry the arugula.

• Place in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season to taste.

• Remove bread from oven and garnish with arugula.

• Serve immediately.
