To prepare your fennel for grilling you need to slice them widthwise, keeping the core intact (otherwise your fennel will fall apart).
2 fennel bulbs
Cut off or peel away any hard, outer parts of the fennel and cut away the outer end of the core. Then slice the fennel carefully in half and then cut each half into 1/2 inch thick slices. Each medium sized fennel bulb should give you 4 slices of fennel.
Brush both sides of each slice with a little bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and oregano, on both sides.
2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling, salt to taste, pepper to taste, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Place on a grill set over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes per side, until you get a nice golden colour on your fennel with some charred areas.
Place on your serving platter and drizzle with a little more olive oil and the juice of 1/2 lemon.
juice of 1/2 a lemon
Enjoy!
