Method

• Prepare the pickled fennel 12 hrs before completing the dish. Place all ingredients except fennel in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat, cover with a lid and let the mixture infuse for another 5 mins. Strain the liquid.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the fennel. Mix the fennel and pickling liquid in a vacuum pack if possible, otherwise mix in a container, making sure the fennel is completely submerged in the liquid. Place it in the fridge until ready to plate the rest of the dish.
• Blend or mix the gremolata ingredients together, then set aside.
• Mix the lemon dressing ingredients in a bowl except for the oil. Whisk until everything is well incorporated, then add the oil slowly, while whisking, until the mixture has emulsifi ed.
• Drain the pickled fennel and place in a bowl with the rocket, sliced radicchio and radish. Toss through the lemon dressing and season with salt if necessary. Plate on 4 individual plates. Place a burrata in the centre of each, then add the walnuts and season with the gremolata.
