The crisp crunch of thinly sliced raw fennel meets the salty-nutty richness of aged Parmigiano-Reggiano in this fork-optional predinner bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 bulb fennel, fronds reserved

  • 1 ½ ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

  • Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon

  • Freshly ground pepper

  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Directions

  1. Using a vegetable peeler or sharp chef's knife, peel or cut the cheese into thick, bite-size shavings.

  2. On a work surface, cut fennel in half lengthwise, then slice into 1/4-inch-thick wedges.

  3. Season fennel salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Top with fennel fronds and cheese shavings.
