Cauliflower Cheese

Method

Cornish cauli!

I just have to pick up one of those lovely cauliflowers whenever I am in the village shop. Apparently the cauliflower is not such a fashionable vegetable nowadays, but I love its flavour and the fact that this good-value food is grown in Cornwall. This month I’ve jotted down some of my ways of using, starting with something I guess all of you do, who are reading these pages.

Everyone in the Trewhitless household enjoys cauliflower cheese, whether as an accompaniment for a roast or as a meal on its own, when I like to make a few additions. My favourite is to fry together some bacon pieces – smoked streaky works very well, together with some chopped mushrooms, which I add to the cooked, drained cauliflower before pouring over the cheese sauce. Served with a jacket potato or crusty bread and a green salad, this makes a well balanced and easy to prepare supper.
