Scallops are available fresh from many fishmongers, or you may find some good quality scallops frozen.

Ingredients

  • 4 fennel bulbs
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 star anise (optional)

Method

Top and tail the fennel. Using a small knife, remove the core from the base of each fennel. Add the lemon juice and star anise to the water with a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Add the fennel, cover and simmer over a medium heat for 15–20 minutes until just tender.

Pour off half of the cooking liquor and boil it to reduce to about 150
