This gorgeous barbecued cuttlefish, fennel and soppressata salad is a superb combination of flavours and textures.

Ingredients (9)

  • 100g soppressata or other mild salami, finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 bulbs baby fennel, thinly sliced using a mandoline, fronds reserved
  • 2 pink lady apples, thinly sliced using a mandoline
  • 1 tbs white wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup nasturtium leaves or baby spinach
  • 1 1/2 cups micro coriander
  • 4 (about 500g) cuttlefish, cleaned

Method

  • 1.
    Place the soppressata in a cold frypan and place over medium heat. When it begins to sizzle, cook for a further 4-5 minutes until crisp. Add the lemon juice and remove from heat. Set aside.
  • 2.
    Bring a saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. Add sliced fennel and blanch for 30 seconds. Refresh in iced water, then drain. Place in a bowl with the apple, vinegar and 2 tbs oil. Toss to combine. Place fennel fronds, nasturtium leaves and micro coriander in a separate bowl and set aside until ready to use.
  • 3.
    Preheat a barbecue or chargrill pan to high. Toss the cuttlefish with the remaining 2 tbs oil and season. Cook for 2 minutes each side or until golden. Cool slightly, then slice tubes into thin rounds and roughly chop the tentacles.
  • 4.
    Combine nasturtium mixture and apple mixture. Add cuttlefish and toss gently to combine, then transfer to a platter. Spoon over soppressata to serve.
