florentine style fennel salad
Ingredients - Serves 1 Method
4 green fennel heads
1 garlic clove
½ a lemon
1tsp fine salt
2 tsp freshly grated Parmesan
Freshly ground pepper
50ml Grappolini Paneolio Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Top and tail the fennel heads and remove the central core. Wash under cold running water and slice very thinly.

Put the fennel slice in a pot of cold water. Add the garlic, lemon, salt and extra virgin olive oil and boil for 20 minutes or until the fennel is al dente.

Remove the fennel from the pt, drain and allow to cool.

Just before serving sprinkle the fennel slices with the Parmesan, season and drizzle over some more extra virgin olive oil.

Make sure the fennel is cold before adding the dressing.
