Fennel can be quite a daunting veggie to use in cooking, but this gratin has the most wonderful fragrant, delicate flavour and is wonderful with meat or fish as a side dish.

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 bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese or maybe a different type of cheese.

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.

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?

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.

Overall, I thought this gratin was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't be making it again.

This gratin was a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I would prefer a recipe that is quicker and easier.

I followed the recipe exactly but my gratin didn't turn out as cheesy as I expected. I think I might have used the wrong type of cheese.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I really enjoyed this gratin. The fennel flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The tomatoes and garlic were also very tasty. I would definitely make this again.

This was my first time making a gratin and it turned out perfectly. I followed the recipe exactly and it was so easy. The fennel and tomato flavors were amazing and the cheese topping was perfectly golden brown.

I made this gratin for a potluck dinner and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it! I even had people asking me for the recipe. I'm definitely going to be making this again soon.

This dish is not only delicious, but it's also very healthy. The fennel and tomatoes are packed with vitamins and minerals, and the garlic has antibacterial and antiviral properties. It's a great way to get your daily dose of veggies.

I was a bit skeptical about using fennel in a gratin, but I'm so glad I decided to try it. The fennel adds a unique and subtle flavor that perfectly complements the tomatoes and garlic. The cheese topping is the perfect finishing touch.
