Cauliflower Cheese
From lorenzo2004 16 years agoIngredients
- 2 medium cauliflowers, outer leaves removed and broken up into florets (small pieces) shopping list
- 3 cups (1.5 pints) full cream milk shopping list
- 5oz (150g) Caerphilly cheese (or your favourite alternative. Aim for something like a cheddar, not too strong), grated shopping list
- 2 slices of slightly stale white bread, crusts removed shopping list
- 1oz (30g) butter shopping list
- 1oz (30g) plain/general purpose flour shopping list
- 1 tablespoon (10g) fresh parsley, chopped shopping list
How to make it
- Begin by boiling the cauliflower florets in salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and refresh with cold water.
- Make a white sauce: Melt the butter, then stir in the flour so you have a yellow paste (roux). Cook this paste gently for a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat and add the milk a little at a time, stirring well. If you add the milk a bit at a time you should avoid getting lumps. Bring the sauce to the boil and simmer until it has thickened.
- Stir 100g of your cheese into the sauce. Stir in the chopped parsley. Check the seasoning.
- Whizz up the bread slices in a food processor so you have breadcrumbs. Don't make the crumbs too fine, as you get a pleasing crunch from the slightly bigger bits.
- Put the cauliflower in a baking dish, pour over the cheese sauce, sprinkle with the remaining 50g cheese, and top with a layer of breadcrumbs. Bake in an oven heated to 180c (gas mark 4) for 30-40 minutes, until it is golden and bubbly and crunchy on the top.
- Serve with a green salad, or as an accompaniment to meat dishes.
