- Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add in the fennel and saute/fry till golden brown, about 8 min.
- Add in the vinegar, sugar, tomatoes and olives.
- Simmer for 1 more minute.
- Add in the herbs and season with salt and pepper.
- Bean Puree:Put the beans in a medium saucepan and cover with water by 2-inches.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Turn the heat to medium-low and simmer the beans till soft and cooked through, about 1 hour.
- Drain.
- Put the beans, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and zest in a food processor and puree till smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Put the mix into a medium bowl and mix in the fresh herbs.
- Wontons:Heat the vegetable oil in a tall narrow pot (4-inches deep)over high heat with a thermometer attached to the side.
- Be careful to fill the oil only 1/2 way up the pot so when you add in the wontons, the oil doesn't boil over.
- When the oil reaches 365 degrees F., add in the wontons in small batches.
- Fry them till golden brown and crisp, turning them over in the oil halfway through cooking, about 1 to 2 min total.
- Make sure the oil stays at 365 degrees F. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
- Spread some of the bean puree on each wonton. Top with some of the confit.
- I gave deep fried wontons an Italian twist by loading them with a vegetable confit and a bean puree - loaded with wads of Italian herbs. If you do not have time to soak the beans for 8 hrs to soften them, put them in a medium saucepan, cover with cool water by 2 inches, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let sit for 1 hour. Drain and cook as instructed below. Just note, when the beans are soaked this way, they might take a little longer cooking time. If you cannot find the green French kidney beans, you can always use cannellini beans.
- Yield is 24 hors d'oeuvres.
