Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower head
  • 300 ml (10 oz / 1 ¼ cups) white sauce
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) parmesan
  • 30 g (1.1 oz) unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp pepper

Instructions

  1. 1
    Cut your cauliflower into small florets, and place them heads down into a bowl of salty water to dress them for an hour.
  2. 2
    Drain florets, and add them to a saucepan of salted boiling water. Cook, uncovered, regularly checking the feel of the cauliflower with a knife to see when they are ready. Your knife should go smoothly, but with some firmness to the cauliflower still.
  3. 3
    Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/390°F/gas 6).
  4. 4
    Once the cauliflower has cooked, drain the florets and lay them in a dish of your choice. Combine the white sauce with ⅔ of the parmesan cheese, and pour over the cauliflower. Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and remaining cheese.
  5. 5
    Place your dish into the oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. 6
    Serve immediately.
