Recipe's preparation

    Roast the fennel
  1. Pre heat oven - 180 degrees celsius.


    Line a baking tray with grease-proof paper and scatter fennel, red onion and zest evenly over the tray.  

  2. Squeeze the quartered lemon over the vegetables and add the quarters to the baking tray with the fennel and onion.

  3. Season well with salt and pepper.

  4. Drizzle olive oil over everything and put into the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until fennel is soft and a bit brown on the edges.

  5. Make the dip
  6. Once cooled, discard the lemon wedges.


    Place the roasted fennel, onion and zest mixture into TM bowl and blend 30sec / speed 7.  For a finer consistency blend again for 15sec.

  7. Add fennel fronds, cream cheese, lemon juice and yoghurt.  Add extra pepper to taste.  Blend 30sec / speed 7.  Scrape down bowl and blend again 15 sec / speed 7.


     

  8. Spoon into serving bowl and top with fennel frond.


    Serve as a dip with crackers, or make canapes by topping crackers and dip with a small piece of smoked salmon and fennel frond.

Tip

You may want to double the amount of cream cheese and yoghurt and add in 100g of smoked salmon.  

This could be served as a dip, or as a tasty filling on a slice of crusty bread.
