Fennel sliced on a mandoline and held in cold water until plating — it curls and stays crisp.

Marsala reduced twice: once with the mushrooms, again after the thighs come out, so it clings.

Marsala holds the centre from above, with the fennel salad and meatballs at opposite corners.
Walnuts and honey vinaigrette travel in their own tubs so the arugula never sits wet.
Chef Ana's Perspective

Chef's Notes

The roulade is the dish that takes the longest and looks the simplest. A chicken breast is butterflied thin, spread with feta and chopped herbs, rolled, tied and poached gently rather than roasted — roasting drives the feta out of the seam. Chilled, then sliced, each round shows a clean green spiral. It is a traditional technique and it exists for a practical reason: sliced cold, it is the only protein here that needs no reheating at all.

Read the full notes

One meat-free main is on this menu by request, and it is a lentil spinach pasta rather than a vegetable side dressed up as a main. Red lentil penne carries roughly twice the protein of wheat pasta, which is what makes it hold its own next to the Marsala and the meatballs instead of reading as a lesser option. Walnuts on the salad are the only tree nut in the delivery, and they travel in a separate tub.

Fennel and oranges both came in well this week, which is why the salad is built on them rather than on leaves alone. Shaved fennel keeps its snap for three or four days as long as it stays dry, so the honey vinaigrette is packed apart — dress it in the bowl you are eating from. The cranberries and orange segments do the work of a dressing on their own if you would rather skip it.

Reheating notes. The Marsala and the teriyaki meatballs both want a covered dish at 325°F; their sauces are emulsions and a hard heat splits them. The sweet potatoes and the miso Brussels sprouts want the opposite — uncovered at 400°F, or an air fryer, to get their edges back. The roulade should not be heated at all. Slice it cold over the fennel salad and it becomes a second lunch without touching the oven.
