Funny to see that no one has ever left a note here. This old recipe from the 90s turns out to be a very good way to use leftover ham without using a creamy sauce or much cheese. Cutting the recipe in half I used 8 ounces of ham, a 15 oz can of fire roasted chopped tomatoes, and 2 small fennel bulbs, sliced rather than quartered. I've also made it with mushrooms. Very nice on rice.
A bland dish. I increased the garlic and added some rosemary and thyme, which helped a bit. I used 2 fennel bulbs instead of 4. Seemed like the tomatoes overpowered the subtle aromatic quality of the fennel.
