Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the grapes, 1 tbsp of the oil and half the caraway seeds on a baking tray and toss to combine. Roast for 12-15 mins until the grapes have burst and are starting to wrinkle. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool, reserving any juices from the tray.
  2. To make the dressing, place 2 tbsp of reserved juice from the tray in a bowl. Add the mustard, lemon juice, remaining oil and caraway seeds. Whisk well to combine.
  3. Toss together the fennel, watercress and mint in a large bowl. Tip onto a serving platter, top with the roasted grapes and scatter with the pistachios. Drizzle with the dressing just before serving.
