BAKED CAULIFLOWER IN CHEESE SAUCE

Baked cauliflower in a creamy cheese sauce that doesn't use cream-of-X soup. Note: I have made this with skim milk and lowfat cheese and it works, but you have to cook the sauce longer to get it to thicken.

CAULIFLOWER IN CHEESE SAUCE

Posted for ZWT-6, this recipe comes from the Usborne Children's World Cookbook that gramma gave my son when he was first learning to cook. Any strong-flavored cheese will work in this recipe, such as cheddar, but if you are looking for an authentic Dutch flavor, choose either Edam or Gouda. The servings, cook & prep time are estimates.

Steps:

  • Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, rinse it well and then cut out the core. Cut the rest into four pieces.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and then add the cauliflower. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until tender. Drain and put it into an ovenproof casserole dish.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan, over low heat.
  • Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to make a smooth paste.
  • Cook the mixture gently for a minute, then take the pan off the heat.
  • Stir in the milk, a little at a time.
  • Return the pan to the heat and let it cook on low for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir most of the grated cheese into the saucepan to melt. Season it with pinches of the salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  • When the sauce has melted, pour over the cauliflower and sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
  • Place under the broiler for a few minutes and until the top starts to bubble and brown.

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, then add 1 large cauliflower, broken into pieces, and cook for 5 mins - lift out a piece to test, it should be cooked.
  • Drain the cauliflower, then tip into an ovenproof dish. Heat oven to 220C/200C/gas 7.
  • Put the saucepan back on the heat and add 500ml milk, 4 tbsp flour and 50g butter.
  • Keep whisking fast as the butter melts and the mixture comes to the boil - the flour will disappear and the sauce will begin to thicken. Whisk for 2 mins while the sauce bubbles and becomes nice and thick.
  • Turn off the heat, stir in most of the 100g grated cheddar cheese and pour over the cauliflower. Scatter over the remaining cheese, and 2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs if using.
  • Put in the oven and bake for 20 mins until bubbling.

CAULIFLOWER WITH CHEESE SAUCE

This is an easy recipe for cauliflower cheese but it's pretty versatile. You can use the cheese sauce with any vegetables you have handy. I often put a layer of cooked kale or broccoli on the bottom, then arrange the cooked cauliflower florets on top. You can change the flavor of the sauce by adding different cheeses you might have in your fridge. It takes a bit of elbow work to make the sauce but it's worth it. This is delicious served with roast beef or lamb.
