INGREDIENTS

2x Marron split in half, washed and cleaned

Sea salt flakes

Black cracked pepper

Olive oil

50g salted butter softened

1T minced garlic

1T lime juice

100g crème fraiche

1 medium fennel bulb

1 green apple

½ red onion

2T lemon juice

 

METHOD

Pre-heat over at 170 degrees. Lay split and washed marron in a baking tray shell side down, combine salted butter, minced garlic and a pinch of sea salt in a bowl, mix and spread onto the flesh of the marron, place into oven, cook for 7-10 minutes.

While marron is cooking, slice fennel, red onion and apple as thinly as you can, (using a mandolin if you have one). Place all into a bowl with lemon juice, mix and season with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Set aside. Combine crème fraiche and lime juice in a bowl.

Remove marron from oven once cooked (7-10 minutes) and allow to rest for 3 minutes.

Spoon lime crème fraiche into the middle your serving plates, place a handful of your fennel salad on top followed by your garlic butter marron. Serves 2. 

Enjoy!

We sourced the local marron from Margaret River Butcher, fennel, apples and red onions from Garden Basket in Margaret River.
