1. 1

   Pound the garlic and the salt in a mortar until completely smooth.

2. 2

   Stir in the lemon juice, lemon peel, fennel seeds and olive oil to make a tart, lemony vinaigrette.

3. 3

   Thinly slice the mushrooms, carefully dress them with a few tablespoons of the vinaigrette, and season them with plenty of freshly ground black pepper.

4. 4

   Lay a damp kitchen towel or a piece of plastic wrap directly over them to keep them from browning, and set aside for 1 hour to marinate.

5. 5

   Trim the fennel bulb and cut it into quarters.

6. 6

   Remove most of the core, then slice it lengthwise, very thinly, leaving the pieces joined together.

7. 7

   Dress it with most of the remaining vinaigrette and half the herbs, and season with salt and pepper.

8. 8

   Add the rest of the herbs to the mushrooms.

9. 9

   Layer the mushrooms, cheese and fennel on each plate and spoon the remaining vinaigrette over the top.
