Orange And Fennel Salad (brannon)

Often our misunderstanding of God's Word is due not to innocent intellectual slips or lack of information, but rather to a deep refusal to submit to God's demands. A person who intends to manage his own affairs, maintain his pride, and secure esteem and glory from his fellow human beings will twist the words of Jesus to support his own self-esteem. The evil of the human heart precedes and gives rise to many of our apparently intellectual misunderstandings of Scripture.

INGREDIENTS

4		Navel oranges
2		Fennel bulbs
1		Red onion
4	T	Extra virgin olive oil
		Freshly ground pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel the oranges with a knife so as to remove all of the white pith.
With a sharp knife, cut along the membranes separating segments so as
to remove them (segments so removed are known as "supremes").  Wash the
fennel and remove green stalks and any bruised or discolored  outer
leaves. Slice cross-wise as thinly as possible. Use a mandoline  or
other slicing device if you have one.  Peel the onion and remove both
ends. Slice cross-wise as thinly as  possible. Again, use a mandoline
or other slicing device if you have  one. Combine orange supremes,
fennel and onion in a bowl and toss  with olive oil. Serve with freshly
grated pepper as is or atop a bed  of lettuce. For 4 to 6 people.  In

(4/30/97)  Notes: One of my favorite dishes which was likely eaten by
the Roman  legionnaires is orange and fennel salad, a combination of
orange  sections and slices of fennel bulbs with olive oil and pepper.
Both  oranges and fennel are sturdy and therefore relatively easy to
transport and both have a reasonably long shelf life. The combination
of the sweet orange and the licorice-like fennel is a different and
interesting flavor combination and is loaded with vitamins.  >Edited by
