Week 3 - Cauliflower Cheese
This week I made cauliflower cheese as I absolutely love cheese. I decided to serve it with fish, buttered new potatoes and carrots. It was delicious. 1 head of cauliflower 40g butter 40g plain flour 400ml milk 1 heaped tsp mustard powder 70g mature cheddar (grated, plus extra for sprinkling) A sprinkle of salt, pepper and nutmeg 1. Heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. 2. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and break the cauliflower into florets. Then steam for 7-8 mins, until the cauliflower is almost tender, but still fairly firm. 3. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the flour. Cook over a gentle heat for 1 minute continuing to stir. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually add the milk, a little at a time, stirring after adding. Return the pan to a medium heat and bring the mixture to the boil, stirring constantly until thickened. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat. Stir in the mustard, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cheese and set aside...
