Organic Cauliflower & Broccoli Cheese Bake


Description

Veg from the farm free from chemicals so much loved cauliflower and broccoli cheese. Simple healthy dish to enjoy.

Ingredients

1 small cauliflower, leaves removed and broken into small florets
1 small head broccoli, broken into small florets

For the cheese sauce:
50g butter
50g flour
1 tsp mustard powder
500 ml milk
100g strong Cheddar or vegetarian alternative

Directions

In a very large saucepan, cook the cauliflower in boiling salted water for 5 mins. Then add the broccoli and cook for 3 mins more. Drain well and transfer to a large ovenproof dish.

To make the cheese sauce:
Melt the butter in a small pan. When foaming, add flour and mustard powder, and cook for 1 min, stirring constantly. Take off the heat and add the milk, a little at a time, stirring constantly to get rid of any lumps. Once half the milk has been added, return to the heat and add the remaining milk. Keep stirring and bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 2 mins, until thickened and smooth. Add most of the cheese and some seasoning then take off the heat.

Pour the sauce over the vegetables and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. This can be done the day before and kept covered in the fridge. Cook in the oven for 30-35 mins until bubbling, allowing an extra 5-10 mins cooking time if from the fridge.
