FENNEL AU GRATIN

FENNEL AU GRATIN

I usually prepare fennels salads or “pinzimonio” with good olive oil, salt and pepper. If I have to cook them I can not just boil them because they are not so tasty!

For 4 people:

3 fennels

250gr butter

100gr milk

50gr flour

50gr parmesan cheese

Nutmeg and salt.

Cut the fennels and boil them. In a pan put the butter and 2 gloves of garlic. When the garlic start browning remove it and add floured fennels. Let cook until a bit  tosty then add milk, salt and nutmeg. When the milk dry pour the parmesan cheese and serve warm.

If you want to prepare them in advance, put in a baking tray fennels cook with the milk, add parmisan cheese on the top and bake for 5 minutes.
