GRATIN OF FENNEL AND POTATOES



Gratin Of Fennel And Potatoes image

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     side dish

Time 2h

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 pound fennel bulbs
3 to 4 cups chicken stock
4 large cloves garlic, peeled
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Salt to taste
1 pound red potatoes
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs, preferably sourdough bread
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Cut the roots off the fennel. Discard the tough, stringy or discolored outer leaves. Chop the feathery leaves and set them aside to use as a garnish. Slice the bulbs lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick pieces and place them in a 2-quart saucepan. Add 3 cups of stock and the garlic, lemon juice and salt (if desired). Bring the broth to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the fennel slices and set them aside.
  • Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Put them in the broth and, if necessary, add more stock or water if the broth has cooked down too far. Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the potatoes just lose their crunch. Do not allow them to soften beyond this point. Lift the potatoes out of the pot and set them aside.
  • Cook the broth over medium-high heat until it is reduced by a little more than half, to approximately 1 1/4 cups. Force the broth through a medium sieve into a bowl, using a spatula to push through the garlic cloves.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cover the bottom of an 8-inch baking dish or gratin dish with several spoonfuls of the strained broth. Make a layer of fennel and potatoes, arranging the slices so that fennel alternates with potato; use up all the fennel. Spoon on a little more broth and sprinkle with one-third of the Parmesan cheese and some freshly ground black pepper. Put the remaining potato slices on top - they should overlap slightly.
  • Lightly press the potatoes with the palm of your hand so that the layer is even. Pour the remaining broth over the potatoes, grind pepper on top and sprinkle with the rest of the Parmesan cheese. Bake for an hour and 15 minutes.
  • While the gratin is baking, saute the bread crumbs in the butter until they are golden-brown. Five minutes before the gratin is done, sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top with about a tablespoon of the chopped fennel leaves. Let the dish cool slightly before serving.

Lighter fennel & potato gratin image

This hearty bake is slightly like dauphinoise, but bypasses the cream for a lighter finished product- Parmesan gives a crispy golden topping

Provided by Mary Cadogan

Categories     Side dish

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 fennel bulbs , trimmed
3 tbsp olive oil
1kg floury potato , thinly sliced (see tip, below)
300ml vegetable stock
250g cherry tomato , preferably on the vine
25g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), finely grated

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Quarter the fennel lengthways, and cut out and discard the root. Thinly slice the fennel. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan, season the fennel and gently cook for about 5 mins until starting to soften.
  • Drizzle a little oil over the base of a 1.5-litre gratin dish. Arrange half the potatoes over the base, then season. Spread the fennel over, then cover with the remaining potatoes. Pour over the stock, season and drizzle with the remaining oil. Scrunch a piece of baking parchment around the edge of the dish to make a seal, then bake for 1 hr. Can be made a few hours ahead up to this point.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and put the tomatoes on top. Scatter over the Parmesan and return to the oven for 20 mins until the top is golden.
