Longer evenings, blossoms on the trees, fresh greens and the first meals outside, spring brings plenty of reasons to enjoy being in the kitchen again.
At Wild Fennel, we’re welcoming the season with bright plates, simple ingredients and plenty of flavour. Think asparagus with a little char, tender fish with a squeeze of lemon, and beautifully seasoned lamb served with a generous bowl of greens.
Whether you’re cooking a quick dinner or gathering friends for Sunday lunch, here are three delicious ways to bring spring to your table. We're the chef in your kitchen
Spring vegetables deserve a little attention. Asparagus, peas and tender leafy greens bring colour and freshness to a meal, and they don’t need much fuss to taste wonderful.
For an easy side, toss asparagus or broccolini with olive oil and a little Wild Fennel Green Vegetable Seasoning, then roast or grill until just tender. Finish with lemon zest and serve straight away.
Or make your greens the meal: pile them onto warm couscous, add crumbled feta and toasted seeds, and finish with a squeeze of lemon. It’s an easy lunch that’s equally lovely shared outside on a sunny afternoon.
Try it this spring: a warm salad of asparagus, peas and new potatoes, tossed with olive oil, Green Vegetable Seasoning and fresh mint. Start with a little seasoning, taste, and add more to suit.
There’s something lovely about a seafood dinner that comes together with very little effort. A fillet of fish, a hot pan and a crisp green salad can be all you need.
Brush white fish with olive oil, add a little Wild Fennel White Fish Seasoning and pan-fry until cooked through. Serve with buttery new potatoes and lemon wedges for squeezing over at the table.
For a relaxed weekend meal, try prawns tossed with olive oil and Shellfish Seasoning, then cooked on the barbecue. Add crusty bread and a big salad, and let everyone help themselves.
Love salmon? Roast a side with Salmon Seasoning and serve on a platter with cucumber ribbons, fresh herbs and a lemon yoghurt dressing.
Our Fish Seasoning Variety Pack brings together White Fish, Shellfish and Salmon seasonings — a lovely way to explore the range.
Lamb and spring make a delicious pairing, whether it’s chops for two or a roast to share.
Our Wild Fennel Lamb Seasoning combines sumac, cumin and mustard, with citrus notes that suit fresh, lively accompaniments.
Rub lamb chops with a little olive oil and seasoning before grilling, then serve with minted peas and warm new potatoes. For a generous lunch, pair seasoned roast lamb with a platter of spring greens and a bowl of lemony yoghurt.
And if there are leftovers, tomorrow’s lunch is already looking good. Tuck sliced lamb into warm flatbreads with crunchy lettuce, cucumber and a spoonful of yoghurt.
Our spring serving idea: lamb chops, seasoned greens and a warm potato salad, all brought to the table on sharing platters. Simple food, plenty of flavour and a good reason to linger.
A fresh season calls for fresh inspiration
Sometimes all it takes to bring a favourite meal to life is a different seasoning, a handful of herbs or a new vegetable on the side.
Start with something you love, add a little Wild Fennel, and see where dinner takes you.
