WHB#73: Fennel-Tomato-Farfalle-Gratin

For Weekend Herb Blogging, this week hosted by Anna from Morsels & Musings, I did a Fennel-Tomato-Farfalle-Gratin.

Last year I permitted the fennel-plants to bloom, so I could harvest fennel seeds, resulting this year I have a sort of „wild“ fennel everywhere in my garden. ;-)


As child I did not like fennel because of the anise flavor. If you do not like this flavor too, just combine fennel with tomato.

Fennel has anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. In addition fennel bulb is an excellent source of vitamin C.

  1. It sounds just wonderful. I love fennel and make tomato sauce with Italian Sausage and fennel quite often. Looking forward to seeing your sauce recipe.
