Step 1

Blanch 4 whole trimmed fennels in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then drain and refresh in cold water. Drain well, brush lightly with oil and sear on a hot griddle pan.
Step 2

In a wide pan, gently heat the juice of 2 lemons, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 100ml water.
Step 3

As the fennels come off the grill, place in the warm marinade. Leave for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped coriander or parsley and serve.
