Baked omelet with zucchini, potatoes and fennel
1 large potato (about 1/2 pound), peeled and whole
1 pound zucchini
1 large red onion, peeled and chopped
1 small fennel bulb
6 tablespoons olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 eggs
Boil the potatoes in ample salted water until cooked but firm. Remove and cool. While the potatoes are boiling, trim the ends off the zucchini and grate either by hand or using the grating wheel of a food processor. Trim the fennel-cut off the stem end and the tough outer layer, and chop the remaining bulb. Discard most of the tough upper green stems, but retain and chop the feathery leaves.
Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the zucchini over medium-high heat, stirring, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the onion and chopped fennel (bulb and leaves) and continue cooking another 8-10 minutes over medium heat until the onion and fennel are wilted and lightly browned. While they cook, grate the boiled potato or pass it through a ricer. Add the potato to the onion and zucchini mixture about 2 minutes before removing from heat.
Remove the vegetables to a mixing bowl and let them stand a few minutes to cool. Oil a 10-inch round ovenproof glass baking dish with the remaining olive oil, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the eggs until frothy and pour into the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture in the baking dish and bake for about 50 minutes or until the omelet is set and golden. Remove, let stand a few minutes, cut into six wedges and serve immediately.
Enjoy it.
