Creamy and comforting, this old favourite is a lovely accompaniment to a winter meal. Growing up, my mum's roast meats were always served with cheesy cauliflower on the side. Cauliflower is a great low-carb alternative to starchy potatoes and is high in dietary fibre, folate and vitamin C. Served this way, my kids devour it within a minute or two of their plates hitting the dinner table. So simple, yet it's one of my all time favourite dishes.
What's in it?
40g low-fat cheese, cubed
1L water
1/2 cauliflower, cut into florets
20g butter, cubed
30g plain flour
310g skim milk
salt and pepper, to season
1 batch of parmesan and herb breadcrumbs (Click here for recipe)
