Shaved Fennel Bowl with garlic butter

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: mixed greens, olive oil, lemon and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the fresh ginger and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the shaved fennel and let it miso, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the black pepper and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with cracked black pepper and a final crack of pepper.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
