The sweetness of fennel, enhanced by a crispy gratin and a generous sprinkle of aged Parmigiano Reggiano from Brown Cow, offers a refined and irresistible side dish, perfect to accompany main courses or for a light and tasty lunch.
Wash the fennel, remove the tougher outer part, and cut into wedges. Blanch in salted boiling water for 5 minutes, drain and dry well.
Place the fennel in a lightly greased baking dish. Season with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
Mix the grated Parmigiano Reggiano from Brown Cow with the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the fennel.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 200°C for about 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with a few sprigs of fresh fennel fronds. Serve immediately.
