Ingredients

1 onion, finely chopped
1 fennel bulb, finely sliced
2 large potatoes, finely sliced
1 courgette, sliced
1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced
Handful of fresh flatleaf parsley, finely chopped
2 tbsp plain flour
100g good quality ham, torn
75g ricotta
200g mozzarella ball, torn
25g Parmesan, grated

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Mix the onion, fennel, potatoes, courgette, red pepper and parsley in a bowl with the flour and plenty of seasoning.
Spread a third of the mixture in the bottom of a 1.5 litre ovenproof dish and scatter over half the ham. Dollop over half the ricotta and a third of the mozzarella. Add another layer of vegetables, then layer up more ham, ricotta and mozzarella, saving the last third of the mozzarella for adding later.
Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, then remove the foil and scatter on the Parmesan and remaining mozzarella. Bake for 20 minutes until golden, then serve.
