Ingredients

fennel 2 bulbs, very thinly sliced
extra-virgin olive oil 2 tbsp
pomegranate molasses 1 tbsp
lemon ½, juiced
sumac 1 tbsp
mint a handful of leaves

Method

Step 1

Put the thinly sliced fennel into a bowl full of iced water to soak for 10 minutes, then drain really well – this makes it super crunchy and crisp. Tip onto a platter or serving plate.
Step 2

Whisk together the oil, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, ½ the sumac and some seasoning. Pour all over the fennel and then sprinkle over the remaining sumac and scatter with mint leaves.
