5. Lunch recipe: Orange-fennel with fried tofu

Okay, finally another lunch recipe, and a good one for a stressy college-day: orange-fennel with fried tofu. 

You need:

·         orange-juice (and slices of an orange, if you have got one at your hand)

·          2 fennel bulbs

·         (1 onion)

·         oil

·         salt and pepper

·         1 cube of tofu

·         pepper spice

 

1. Heat oil in a frying pan oder pot with a lid. Cut the fennel bulbs (and the onion) into strips and pour them into the heated oil. Put the lid on the pot or pan and stew for 20 minutes, you might add just tiny bit of vegetable-stock or water from time to time.

2. Separately cut the cube of tofu into small slices, make sure to cut them into thin slices, so that they can fry until crisp. Heat oil in a frying pan. Start frying the tofu-slices.

3. If the tofu is crispy when you flip the tofu slices over, take the pan off the heat, otherwise they’ll get to firm. Add salt and pepper.

4. When the fennel strips are stewed for about 15-20 minutes, open the lid and add some orange juice (and the slices of an orange, if you have got one at your hand). Add salt and pepper.

Done. 

I'm still listening to Vanessa Carlton's album "Rabbits on the run". Love it. You should give it a try. The lyrics are stunningly beautiful and straight to the point.

Yours sincerely,
