1. To toast the fennel seeds, place in a small pan on medium heat and toast until the colour goes a little darker and you can smell them. About 5 minutes. Grind using a mortar and pestle or in a spice grinder of your choice.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine all ingredients and mix until well incorporated. Start slowly and increase speed to medium, mixing for 5 minutes in total.
3. Adjust seasoning with a little salt or more lemon if necessary.
4. Serve with your favourite crackers or crusty bread.
Make ahead: Can be stored in the fridge for 4-5 days. Remove just what you want to serve 15 minutes ahead to soften slightly.
