Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Walnuts
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Distilled Water
  • 2-3 cups Fennel Fronds
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Sprinkle of Salt to Season

Method
 

  1. Wash Fennel Fronds and remove hard woody centre stem.
  2. Place all ingredients EXCEPT Walnuts in a Nutribullet or food processor. Blitz until combined and fronds have broken up into small pieces.
  3. Add the Walnuts and blitz to combine. If the mixture looks a little thick or dry add in an extra dash of water or olive oil.
  4. Taste and add extra salt if needed and ready to serve!

Notes

If you want to preserve divide the extra mixture into ice trays and freeze. I use large Ice trays. Then once it has frozen place in an airtight, freezer-proof container until you are ready to use.
I use a Nutribullet or stick blender as that is all I have. They work well but that is why I split the walnuts and greens up as it takes longer to blitz the greens.
