Let’s see the ingredients we need to prepare the velouté

  • 1.1 lbs fennel (already cleaned)
  • 15 oz potatoes
  • 3.5 oz onions
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tsp fine salt (approximately)
  • 1.5 tbsps extra virgin olive oil

Tools

  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Immersion blender

Steps

  • First, wash the vegetables. 

    Slice the onions and slightly wilt them in a saucepan with the oil.

    Cut the fennel, potatoes, and garlic into pieces, and add them to the pot with the onions.

    Add water to cover them then add the salt and another tablespoon of oil.

    Turn on the stove and let it cook for about 50/60 minutes. When the vegetables are soft, our preparation will be ready.

    Using the immersion blender, create a nice, smooth and homogeneous cream.

  • When we plate it, add as much as you like to garnish the fennel cream.

    I’ll tell you how I enriched my velouté.

    I prepared croutons by cutting turmeric bread into cubes, then toasting them in a hot pan with a drizzle of oil, until crispy.

    Once ready, I added them on the velouté along with some mixed seeds, whole grain spelt flakes, a drizzle of EVO oil, and a sprinkle of parmesan or pecorino.

    Are you ready to enjoy this dish full of goodness and beneficial properties?

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
