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.

[email protected]This gratin was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese or maybe a different type of cheese.

[email protected]I'm a big fan of fennel and tomatoes, so I was really excited to try this gratin. I was a bit disappointed, though. I found the flavor to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning or maybe some fresh herbs.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my gratin turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened. Maybe I didn't drain the tomatoes enough?

[email protected]I would give this gratin a 7/10. It was a good dish, but not great. I would probably make it again if I had all of the ingredients on hand, but I wouldn't go out of my way to find them.
