JANE’ S ASHMORE SMOKED CAULIFLOWER CHEESE
Ingredients:
• 1 large cauliflower head, broken into pieces
• 500ml whole milk( we like to use unhomogenised)
• 4 tbsp plain flour
• 50g Kentish Cowslip Butter
• 100g Ashmore Smoked Cheddar
Method:
1. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, then add 1 large cauliflower, broken into pieces, and cook for 5 mins.
2. Drain the cauliflower, then place into an ovenproof dish. Heat the oven to 200 ° C / gas mark 7.
3. Using the same saucepan, place it back on the heat and add your butter, stirring until melted. Once melted, take off the heat and add your flour until a roux paste forms. Put back on a medium heat and gradually add the milk stirring constantly as you go.
4. Keep whisking as the mixture comes to a soft boil- at this stage the sauce will thicken- continue to whisk / stir for 2 mins while the sauce bubbles and becomes nice and thick.
5. Turn off the heat and stir in most of your grated Ashmore Smoked Cheddar then proceed to pour the sauce over the cauliflower before sprinkling the remaining cheese on top.
6. Put the dish into the oven and bake for 20 mins until bubbling and golden. Serve and enjoy!
