Figs and Fennel - Robert (1x20)

Air date: Nov 16, 2015

There's no way Chef Robert Jewell will get an "F" on this "F" test. Robert takes on figs and fennel by first using ripe black mission figs, layering them over a mascarpone and cream cheese base, to make a simple and sweet fig tart. Then he moves forward, telling us all about his second ingredient. He gives tips for storing and dicing fennel while making a broth with fennel, shallots, and potatoes. He adds clams, Serrano ham, and cream to complete the dish. Next up, Robert unites figs and fennel in a combo that is as fancy as it is unexpected.
