Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7. Rub 1 tbsp oil over the pork fillet, then rub in the fennel seeds, garlic and a generous amount of seasoning. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a high heat and fry the pork fillet until browned all over. Transfer to a small roasting tin and roast for 25 minutes until cooked through. Remove and leave to rest before cutting into thick slices.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the fennel and apple, and mix with the chicory and nuts in a bowl. Wipe out the frying pan, then put over a low heat. Mix the lemon juice with the extra-virgin olive oil and add to the pan with the salad ingredients. Warm through, add the parsley, then spoon onto plates. Top with the pork.
- Whizz the feta, cream and some black pepper in a mini food processor (or use a stick blender). Warm in a small saucepan, then serve on the side for people to drizzle over.
