Recipe Review

This was surprisingly delicious! I was quite wary of using this sweet crumble in what should be a savoury dish but it worked. The fennel, baked in a little cream and topped with a cheesy crumble and cherry tomatoes had a very nice balance of sweet, salty and sour flavours.

I baked it in 6 individual gratin dishes intending for it to be the main. Each dish ended up with only 1/3 of a fennel bulb, a little skimpy for an entrée, but I did like the thickness of the layers of vegetable and topping; everything baked in the correct time and the topping did crisp up. Next time, I’ll just bake it in 1 dish and let people help themselves. Serves 6-8 as a side, 3-4 as a main.

This would make a fantastic addition to a buffet.

I had to try it after reading how the dish came to be and your review helped convince me as well.
