Ingredients

• 2 bulbs fennel, sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices
• Olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves

Directions

Heat grill to high. Brush the fennel with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until slightly charred and almost cooked through.
