Prawn bruschetta with lemony fennel salad recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced through the root, green fronds reserved
  • 1 heaped tbsp roughly chopped dill
  • zest and juice ½ lemon, plus wedges, to serve
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 small slices rustic wholemeal bread, or two large cut in half
  • 1 garlic clove, halved
  • 140g cooked prawns
  • handful rocket

Method

  • Bring a pan of water to the boil then add the fennel slices for 2-3 mins until just tender. Drain well and toss with reserved fennel fronds, dill, lemon zest and juice, 2 tsp olive oil and seasoning.
