Ingredients

80ml red wine vinegar

80g currants

Pinch chilli flakes

1/2 large red onion, finely diced

80ml extra virgin olive oil

80g black olives, pitted

1 large bulb fennel

3 navel oranges

4 sprigs mint, picked

Salt flakes

Freshly ground black pepper

 

Method

1. In a small pot bring the vinegar, currants and a good pinch of chilli flakes to the simmer for a minute or two. Take off the heat, add the onion, oil and olives, mix through and allow to sit - the currants will plump up and the onion will soften.

2. Slice the fennel into wedges about one centimetre thick. Peel and slice the oranges into similar-sized rounds.

3. Add the fennel, orange slices and mint to a large bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss together. Tip into a serving bowl, and dress with the currant and olive mix.
