  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 200 gm salted ricotta, shaved

Method

Main
  • 1
    Trim the fennel, reserving the fronds, halve the bulbs lengthways, then cut into thin wedges and toss in the juice of 1 lemon to stop it browning.

    Finely chop reserved fronds and combine with fennel, remaining lemon juice, vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. Season to taste and finish with generous shavings of ricotta and a few grinds of black pepper.
