Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the flatbread ingredients; toast the flatbread

Heat the oven to 400°F. 

  • Cut the fennel lengthwise into quarters and cut away the core; cut the quarters lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick slices.
  • Coarsely chop any large roasted red pepper pieces. 
  • Remove any pulp from the preserved lemon and discard; finely chop the peel. 
  • Rinse the white beans. 

On a sheet pan, place the flatbread and brush the top lightly with oil. Bake until lightly crisped, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.

While the flatbread is toasting, cook the fennel and prepare the white bean mixture.

2

Cook the fennel; assemble the bean mixture

  • Measure 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] red wine vinegar; set aside rest for the salad.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the fennel, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring once, until starting to soften and lightly brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

In a medium bowl, stir together the roasted red peppers, preserved lemon, white beans, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] red wine vinegar; season to taste with salt and pepper. 

3

Assemble and bake the flatbread

Spread the ricotta evenly over the flatbread, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges. Top with the fennel and half the white bean mixture (set aside the rest for the salad). Bake until the flatbread is crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into wedges.

While the flatbread is baking, finish the white bean salad. 

4

Toss the white bean salad

To the bowl with the remaining white bean mixture, add the mixed greens and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil and toss to combine; season to taste with salt, pepper, and as much of the remaining vinegar as you like. 

Serve

Transfer the flatbread to individual plates and dollop with the arugula pesto. Serve with the white bean salad.
