Fennel and Meatballs Gratin

Hello, 

I  prepared a fennel tajine for the first day of Ramandhan that I forgot to take pictures of once cooked. As I still  had some fennel left I wanted to eat  a gratin  as a change from tajines. My friend Nawel suggested to me this recipe that looks like my recipe for a courgette gratin  (recipe here) and which is different from the gratin of fennel  that I usually prepare. A gratin with both  béchamel and the tomato sauce that was very appreciated by the entire family. A treat ... ....
                                       

                                      Thanks Nawel .
