Ingredients
- 1/2 c
Labneh or yogurt
- 3
cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 6 oz
Mushrooms. I used a variety of, pink oyster, lion's mane, and blue oyster. But honestly, any mushrooms will work.
- 1/2
bulb fennel
- 1
Blood Orange cut into segments. If you can find a blood orange then a regular one will do, or even a grapefruit
- 2 tbsp
True Citrus Orange Ginger Spice Blend
- 1/2 tbsp
True Lemon
Red Pepper Flakes
oil
salt
pepper
Directions
- Cut fennel in half, remove core and slice long-wise, in 1/4 inch pieces.
- In a bowl add fennel ,2 tbs oil, salt, and True Citrus Orange Ginger. Place in a 350 degree oven for 15 min.
- While that is going, cut mushrooms into equal bite sized pieces and season with salt and red pepper flakes.
- With a sauce pan on med-high heat, saute mushrooms in 1 tbs oil. You want the mushrooms to sit for approx 30 seconds before shaking them. This will help build a nice brown crust.
- Cook mushrooms for about 3 min. And then lower the heat to med. Add in the garlic and sauce for 1 min. It should be fragrant but not burnt.
- Take off heat and move aside.
- Segment orange/ grapefruit.
- In a bowl, add in labneh/ yogurt, True Lemon, and 1 tsp salt.
- On a plate, place a healthy dollop of your labneh/ yogurt mixture. To that, add on your fennel, then mushrooms. Get your orange/ grapefruit segments and whimsically place them.
- Top everything with a drizzle of olive oil and flakey salt.
