Asparagus, Orange, and Lentil Salad

Ingredients

1 medium-size fennel bulb
2 large oranges, peeled and sliced
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 pounds fresh asparagus $
1 1/2 cups dried pink lentils, rinsed
Champagne-Shallot Vinaigrette
2 cups coarsely chopped assorted lettuces
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
Preparation

1. Rinse fennel thoroughly. Trim and discard root end of bulb. Trim stalks from bulb, and chop fronds to equal 1/4 cup; reserve stalks and remaining fronds for another use. Thinly slice bulb, and toss with oranges, pepper, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cover and let stand until ready to use.
2. Meanwhile, cut asparagus tips into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Cut stalks diagonally into thin slices, discarding tough ends.
3. Bring 3 cups water and 1/2 tsp. salt to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, and cook 1 to 2 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process; drain. Pat dry with paper towels.
4. Bring 3 cups water and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt to a boil in saucepan over medium heat. Add lentils; return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring often, 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain well, and rinse with cold water. Toss lentils with 1/4 cup Champagne-Shallot Vinaigrette.
5. Combine lettuces, parsley, asparagus, fennel mixture, and fennel fronds in a large bowl; toss with remaining vinaigrette. Spoon lentils onto a serving platter; top with asparagus mixture.

This is the best mult ever- and also a sick fucking maniac with far too much time on his hands.

That makes sense since Tall Midget is a Telegram Sam mult. So now the Telegram Sam family includes Sam, Midget, Beardown, Ike, and Goggles.

BTW, we have "Extremely important customers coming in today" so were all on our best behavior and we have been asked to make sure we are at our desks from 12-1 and not eating either. Eat your lunch before or after that hour


We're all worried about Goggles

Right? Usually you walk away from a bigfan post about 5 minutes later thinking "Oh, now I get what he was trying to say". Not so much on this one...

I can't see it being Tall Midget. I doubt he would invest the time needed to put together that long of a post on a mult.

My guess would be psycory

Psycory did say that he was laying on the couch and being lazy lately. He might have the time for something like that.

yeah that was kinda my thinking.

With a post like that you can eliminate about 98% of the population right away due the intelligence factor needed in order to put together something like that.

So that leaves a select group of people. And Psycory fits that criteria and also has the time in order to do it.

Just a guess and probably way off.

Wrong on all counts, but I find your subterfuge....interesting.

Goggles is either JORR or Noisewater.

Meringue Nests with Basil Scented Strawberry-Rhubarb Compote

3 large egg whites, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup sugar

1/2 lb strawberries, rinsed, hulled and quartered + ½ cup of strawberries, rinsed, hulled and chopped
1/2 lb of rhubarb
2 Tablespoons of honey
1 Tablespoon of water
3-4 whole basil leaves

1/2 cup of heavy cream
2 Tablespoons powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 275°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Place egg whites, vanilla and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with a whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar (about 1 Tablespoon at a time) and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Using a spoon, drop eight dollops of meringue onto prepared baking sheet. Use the back of your spoon to create a well in each ‘nest’. Nests should be around 3-4 inches wide. You can alternately transfer meringue mixture to a piping bag and pipe the nests, making sure that the bottom is a solid circle so that the filling won't leak out later.

Bake the nests for 45-50 minutes or until they are totally set and dry. Leaving the oven door closed, turn off the oven and allow meringues to sit in the oven for an additional 1 hour.

In the meantime, place rhubarb, 1/2 lb of the strawberries, water, basil and honey in a small sauce pan set over medium heat. Bring mixture to a gentle boil and reduce to a simmer. Allow mixture to cook, stirring occasionally, until fruit is soft and syrupy, about 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and discard basil leaves. Stir in the reserved ½ cup of chopped strawberries and allow mixture to cool.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add sugar and beat until cream is thick and fluffy. Be careful not to over beat or you'll end up with butter.

Top each meringue nest with several spoonfuls of compote and whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Enjoy!

This multer has to be cutting and pasting this stuff from a blog, right? If not, I think we have a new most frightening CSFMB member.
