Ingredients

  • 100g blanched almonds
  • Pinch fennel seeds (less than ¼ tsp)
  • 75g anchovies, drained of oil
  • 25 mint leaves (about 3 sprigs)
  • 1 small clove garlic, roughly chopped
  • 100ml extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ lemon, juice
  • 150g pack French breakfast radishes
  • Ice cubes

Method

  1. Put the almonds, fennel seeds, anchovies, mint, garlic and some freshly ground black pepper into a food processor. Whizz, gradually adding the oil, to make a coarse paste. Add the lemon juice, to taste. If the mixture is stiff, add a little water to loosen it, then taste again. Scrape into a bowl.

  2. Wash the radishes, put them into iced water to make them crisp, then transfer to a plate. Serve with the purée for dipping and scooping.
