Who doesn't love a good gratin in the winter? The fennel flavor is amplified by both the bulb and seeds, and anchovies are a surprising flavor addition to the layered vegetables and Parmesan cheese.

This is going to be one of my favorite new trusty side dishes. It is simple, scrumptious and moreish. Don't let the thought of anchovies put you off making this ...they add so much dimension to the sauce and don't leave a hint of fishiness. Absolutely exquisite dish!
