Cauliflowers
were on “special offer” today - very fresh and good quality, so I bought two - one for a very tasty soup which will go into the freezer (recipe shortly!) and another for supper tonight. We haven’t had Cauliflower Cheese for a long time. I like the variations possible with this dish, not only with the different cheeses you can use, but also by adding chopped fried crispy bacon, mushroom and onion to the sauce, (as shown in the photograph) or a well-drained can of salmon. A mixture of cauliflower and broccoli florets makes a colourful and even more attractive dish.
You can use the same sauce recipe with macaroni. Depending on the size of the appetite, allow between 50-100g (2-4oz) of macaroni per person. Cook according to the instructions on the packet.
Not into sauce making? I’ll give you an alternative recipe, based on crème fraiche which you could use with the cauliflower, macaroni or mixed vegetables - preparation time then would be 5 minutes.
Serves 4.
