• 1 small fennel bulb, stalks discarded

• 300ml olive oil

How to make Fennel and Carrot Confit

Shave carrots with a vegetable peeler into very thin, wide ribbons. Quarter fennel bulb lengthwise, then very thinly slice lengthwise.

Heat oil with cayenne, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over low heat until warm.

Add carrots, fennel, and zest and cook gently, without simmering, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain oil into a bowl (see cooks' note, below) and transfer vegetables to another bowl to cool to room temperature.
