Best Cheesy Cauliflower With Peas Recipes

EASIEST CHEESIEST CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Wash the cauliflower and break into florets.
• Steam until still crisp, but just starting to soften.
• Drain well (let sit in colander for 5 mins.) and place in an ovenproof dish.
• Pour the cream into the bottom of the dish.
• Place enough cheese slices to completely cover on top of the cauliflower.
• Place in the oven, uncovered with whatever else you are making (or at 350-400 degrees) and bake for 15 minutes, stirring every five minutes.
• If the resulting sauce seems too thick, add an extra splash of cream, if too runny, let sit a few minutes.

PEAS IN CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the cheese; stir until melted. Stir in peas; cook 1-2 minutes longer or until heated through.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND PEAS WITH CHUTNEY CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss cauliflower with oil, salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast until almost tender and browning around the edges, about 30 minutes. Add peas to pan and stir to combine. Roast until peas are heated through, about 5 minutes more.
• About halfway through cauliflower cooking time, prepare cheese sauce: Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, until mixture is pale golden, about 1 minute. Whisking constantly, slowly add milk until fully incorporated. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Whisk in cheese, a little at a time (adding too much at once can cause sauce to break and become grainy), until smooth. Stir in chutney, dry mustard, salt and pepper.
• Serve vegetables and sauce over rice; garnish with cilantro.
