Advantages: Easy to make - no skill required!

Disadvantages: None!

Having read lots of wonderful recipe ideas I thought I might add my own.

Earlier today I read a review for cauliflower cheese using Batchelors pasta sauce. I felt I could go one better and give you a really yummy recipe for Cauliflower cheese that is really quick and easy and involves no packets or even complicated roux sauces.

This sauce requires virtually no skill at all but is rich and heart warming!

~Quick, Heavenly Cheese Sauce for Cauliflower ~

1 cauliflower - cooked (not too soft)
1 250ml tub Crème Fraiche ( you can use half fat if you're watching your weight)
1 tspn wholegrain mustard
Seasoning
Grated cheddar cheese (about 175g)

As this is a recipe that I use frequently I very rarely weigh things out. I tend to guesstimate!

~Method~
* Put the crème fraiche, mustard and a handful of grated cheese into a small saucepan and heat gently until the cheese has just melted. ( do not boil).
* Season to taste.
* Put cooked cauliflower into a Pyrex / oven proof dish.
* Pour sauce over the cauliflower.
* Sprinkle more grated cheese over the top.
* Bake in the oven for about 20 mins. until cheese is golden and bubbling.
* Serve.

One advantage of this is that you can make it (the whole thing) the day before you need it. Cover and store in the fridge and then cook when required.

We always have this with roast dinner, but it is great as a meal on its own served with crispy bacon.

~Twist in the Tale~

My son is in a cookery competition this week and he is using this recipe as his accompanying dish, but instead of putting the sauce with cauliflower, he is mixing it with Savoy cabbage. He has replaced the cheddar cheese with grated parmesan ( a little more up market) and obviously this dish isn't baked and doesn't have cheese on top - Just Savoy cabbage and mustard, crème fraiche sauce. We all love it! It is beautiful with any meat or fish and so quick and easy.

Enjoy!!

Summary: Have a go - it's so easy and tasty to boot!
