I’m so very anoyed that I forgot to take a phot of this, it looked delicious. Hot cooked cauliflower florettes drowned in bubbling cheese sauce, that’s just starting to brown on top from the oven.
Dead easy to make…
What you need:
- 1 x Cauliflower
- 3/4 Pint of milk
- 40g Flour (3-4 tbls)
- 50g butter
- 40g grated mature cheddar cheese
- mustard powder
- nutmeg
- bay
Method:
Like most things there’s a fair bit of room for error. This recipe has three parts…
Part 1 – Cooking the cauliflower.
Cut into florettes and steam until just cooked (<10 minutes). Add a bay leaf and some nutmet to the cooking water if you can be bothered.
Part 2 – Making the cheese sauce.
Add the milk, flour and butter to a saucepan, cook on a gentle heat whisking continuosly. When the sauce starts to thicken att in 2 tsp (or whatever) of mustard powder, the cheese, and season to taste (pinch of salt, good grind of pepper in my case). continue heating for a few minutes.
Part 3 – Brining the two together.
In a buttered heat proof dish, place the cooked, drained, cauliflower. Ideally leave this to dry for a moment in the saucpan for a moment. Cover with the cheese sauce & place in a hot oven for 15 minutes or until the sauce begins to brown.
Serve immediatly.
