- 2 teaspoons curry powder (preferably Madras)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 baguette
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 lb extra-sharp Cheddar
- 1/4 cup very thinly sliced fennel bulb (sometimes called anise; quartered lengthwise and cored before slicing)
Instructions
- Cook shallot and curry powder in oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, 2 minutes, then transfer to a small bowl and stir in mayonnaise and lemon juice. Wipe skillet clean and set aside.
