Finocchio alla parmigiana - fennel baked with parmesan cheese
This simple vegetable dish can be prepared ahead and put in the oven when you're ready.
What you need
- 4 bulbs fennel, trimmed and quartered
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 tsp softened butter
- freshly ground black pepper
- 60 ml grated parmesan cheese
Method
Cook the fennel in salted water until tender. It should be soft but not floppy. Drain well.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200°C. Generously butter a gratin dish.

Bake for 30 min or until cheese is golden brown and fennel juices are bubbling vigorously.
