Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 kg fennel bulb
500 g tomatoes
60 g white breadcrumbs, course
65 g parmesan cheese, grated
1 large red onion
3 garlic cloves, minced (keep one separate)
2 teaspoons lemon zest
80 ml olive oil
65 g gruyere, grated (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200c/400f/gas mark 6.
  • Cut fennel in half lenghways and slice each half thinly. Peel and slice the red onion thinly.
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan and cook the onion until softened. Add 2 of the minced garlic cloves and mix.
  • Add the sliced fennel and cook, stirring regularly, until soft and lightly golden.
  • Score a cross in the top of each tomato and plunge into boiling water for a minute. Drain and peel the skin off, then chop them roughly and add to the fennel. Cook, stirring regularly, until tomato is softened.
  • Season the mixture well and spread in a greased gratin dish.
  • Mix together the breadcrumbs, final minced garlic clove, parmesan and lemon zest. Spread over the fennel mixture. If you want the gratin to be extra-cheesy, at this point sprinkel the grated gruyere over the top of the breadcrumbs.
  • Bake until golden brown and crisp.

This gratin was a disaster! The cheese didn't melt properly and the whole thing was a mess.

This gratin was a bit too fennel-heavy for my taste. I would have preferred a more balanced flavor profile.

I found this gratin to be bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This gratin was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I loved this gratin. The flavors were well-balanced and the dish was very cheesy.

I love this gratin! It's so flavorful and cheesy. I always serve it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
