Light, aromatic, and full of bold Mediterranean flavour, this Fennel Steak is a plant-based dish that delivers both elegance and comfort. Thick slices of fennel are air-fried until golden and tender, bringing out their natural sweetness and delicate aniseed notes. Topped with a creamy, zesty dressing made from Greek yoghurt, tahini, lemon, fresh dill, and red onion, the dish is refreshing yet indulgent. Finished with a sprinkle of thyme and a drizzle of olive oil, it’s the perfect vegetarian main or side that’s both nourishing and delicious.
