Ingredients

  • ¼ tsp fennel seed

  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

  • 1 large courgette, thinly sliced on the diagonal

  • 50g rocket

Method

  1. Toast the fennel seeds in a small frying pan over a low-medium heat for 1 min, or until they release their aroma. Bash them lightly using a pestle and mortar. Mix the lemon juice, fennel seeds, oil and garlic in a large bowl, then stir in the courgette. Season and set aside to marinate for 30 mins.

  2. Toss through the rocket and transfer to a platter. Top with the anchovy fillets. Scatter with lemon zest and serve with an extra drizzle of olive oil.
