"I keep a jar of this fennel frond pistou on hand always…it’s so useful to spread quickly onto a sandwich, stir through pasta or dollop into an omelette, but it is delicious spread on a slice of fennel & spelt bread that has first been generously spread with a slather of cow’s curd, chevre or labneh!" - Micky Robertson. This recipe is by Micky Robertson.

Ingredients (4)

  • 300g roughly chopped fresh fennel fronds

Method

  • 1.
    Roughly chop the fennel fronds (including stalks) and place in a food processor.
  • 2.
    Crush the garlic using the blade of a heavy knife and add to the processor with some salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper and the oil. Pulse until roughly chopped, then add the lemon juice and pulse a few times to combine (the consistency should be more wet than dry – not runny, but thick and luscious). Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
