Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • One can or jar (5 3/4-ounce) tuna in olive oil (drained and oil reserved)
  • 1 (9 oz) fennel bulb (any tough outer leaves and core discarded, thinly sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon currants
  • Boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
  • 3 sun-dried tomatoes (finely chopped)
  • Small handful fresh flat-leaf parsley (leaves chopped)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 medium (5 oz) head of chicory* (roughly shredded)
  • 1 medium (1 oz) banana shallot (thinly sliced)
  • Olive oil

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In an extra-small roasting pan, toss the fennel in the reserved oil from the tuna along with 3 tablespoons of water. Season with salt and black pepper and roast until soft and golden, about 20 minutes.
  • While the fennel is roasting, place the currants in a heatproof bowl, and cover with boiling water to soak.
  • When the fennel is ready, drain the currants and mix into the fennel, along with the tuna, pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, lemon juice, chicory, and shallot.
  • Taste and season with salt, pepper, and olive oil, if needed.
