Ingredients
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Sugar: pinch of sugar
- Lemon: 2 lemons
- Tomatoes: 500g mixed tomatoes (I used cherry tomatoes and some larger ones)
- Mint Leaves: 1/2 small pack mint leaves
- Parsley Leaves: 1/2 small pack parsley leaves
- Fennel Bulbs: 3 fennel bulbs
- Pomegranate Seeds: 100g pomegranate seeds
- Tarragon Leaves: 1/2 small pack tarragon leaves
Directions
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line abaking traywith baking parchment. Slice 1 lemon into thin rounds and spread out on the baking tray, drizzle over 1/2 tbsp oil and sprinkle over the sugar. Roast for 20-25 mins until shrivelled and caramelised in places. Keep an eye on them - you may have to take some out the oven before the others are done.These can be made in the morning and kept at room temperature.
- While the lemons are cooking, roughly chop the tomatoes and thinly slice the fennel, saving the fronds. Put in a bowl with the remaining olive oil, juice from the other lemon and pomegranate seeds. Season to taste, then give everything a good mix.
- When you're ready to serve, roughly chop all the herbs and mix them into the salad along with the roasted lemons and fennel fronds.
