Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Garlic

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil and drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until soft and fragrant. Let cool, then squeeze the roasted garlic out of the skins.

  2. 2

    Slice the Fennel and Onion

    While the garlic is roasting, thinly slice the fresh fennel bulb and red onion. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salami and Mozzarella

    Slice the Finocchiona salami into thin rounds and tear the mozzarella cheese into bite-sized pieces.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced fennel, red onion, Finocchiona salami, mozzarella cheese, and roasted garlic.

  2. 5

    Season the Mixture

    Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fennel seeds. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Serving

    Serve

    Transfer the mixture to a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional fennel fronds or drizzle with extra olive oil before serving. Enjoy your Finocchiona as a delicious appetizer or snack.
