List of Ingredients




450 g cauliflower, (1 large), broken into florets
600 ml skimmed milk, (1 pint)
50 g flour, plain, (1 3/4oz)
25 g polyunsaturated margarine, (1oz)
75 g cheddar cheese, extra mature, (2 3/4oz)
2 level teaspoon wholegrain mustard
1 pinch salt
1 serving pepper, freshly ground
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, finely grated or shaved
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped, to garnish (optional)

Recipe



Cook the cauliflower in a covered saucepan with a small amount of boiling, lightly salted water until just tender - about 10 minutes.


Meanwhile, make an all-in-one cheese sauce by putting the milk, flour and margarine into a saucepan. Bring up to the boil, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, until the sauce blends and thickens. Reduce the heat to low and cook gently, stirring all the time, for another 30 seconds or so.


Add the cheese and mustard to the sauce and cook gently for about 30 seconds, stirring, until the cheese has melted. Season to taste.


Preheat the grill. Drain the cauliflower thoroughly, place in a warmed ovenproof serving dish, then pour over the sauce. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese, then grill until lightly browned. Serve at once, sprinkled with fresh chives.




Chef Tips

Use Double Gloucester with onion and chives for a different flavour. Just before serving, sprinkle the top with 2 rashers of crisply cooked bacon, snipped into pieces - but watch out as this will increase the POINTS value.
