Preheat the oven to 180°C. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large cast-iron pan. Arrange the fennel, garlic and lemon in the pan, then cover tightly with foil and a lid. Cook over a gentle heat for 20 minutes, then place in the oven and cook for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and lid. The fennel should have a charred base and a soft, caramelised texture.
