Method
Step 1
Trim the stalks off the fennel, pick and wash the fronds and set aside for garnish.
Step 2
Thinly slice the bulb approximately 2mm thick, a mandolin is the best way to achieve this.
Step 3
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and vinegar.
Step 4
Gently bring to the heat and allow the sugar to dissolve.
Step 5
Increase heat and reduce liquid to ¼ of its original volume then add sliced fennel.
Step 6
Cook on high heat, stirring continuously to prevent the sugar from burning.
Step 7
The fennel is ready once it appears glassy and you’ve got a sticky, jam-like consistency.
Step 8
Remove fennel from saucepan and refrigerate to cool.
Step 9
To serve, spread fennel jam onto a plate, top with burrata, drizzle the Alto olive oil over the fennel, season with sea salt and garnish with the fennel fronds.
Enjoy!
