LIGHTER CAULIFLOWER CHEESE



Lighter cauliflower cheese image

Makeover this classic side dish with some clever swaps to reduce the fat and calories, while keeping the flavour rich and creamy

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Side dish

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

400ml semi-skimmed milk
2 tbsp cornflour
2 garlic cloves
1 large cauliflower , about 1kg, untrimmed
75g extra-mature cheddar , coarsely grated
25g parmesan , coarsely grated
1 tbsp snipped chives
1½ tsp Dijon mustard
150ml buttermilk

Steps:

  • Mix 2 tbsp of the milk with the cornflour and set aside. Press the garlic cloves in a garlic crusher to smash - but not crush - them. Put them in a pan with the rest of the milk and heat until just coming to the boil. Immediately remove from the heat and leave to infuse.
  • Trim any leaves from the cauliflower and cut out the thick main stalk, then cut the cauliflower into florets. Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the cauliflower, return to the boil, then simmer for about 5 mins until just cooked but still with a bit of bite.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the cauliflower into a large colander, drain well, then transfer to a shallow ovenproof dish, about 1.5 litres (see tip, left). Mix both cheeses together. Stir 2 heaped tbsp with the chives and a grinding of pepper, and reserve for sprinkling over.
  • Stir the cornflour mix into the warm milk. Return the pan to the heat and bring to the boil, stirring, until thickened and smooth. Remove from the heat, discard the garlic, then stir in the cheese until it has melted. Stir in the mustard and buttermilk, and season with pepper. Pour the sauce over the cauliflower to evenly coat, then sprinkle over the reserved cheese mix. Bake for about 25 mins or until bubbling round the sides and golden on top.

CAULIFLOWER CHEESE | SLIMMING & WEIGHT WATCHERS FRIENDLY



Cauliflower Cheese | Slimming & Weight Watchers Friendly image

Perhaps not quite as you know it, this Cauliflower Cheese is packed with flavour, texture, and best of all cheese!

Provided by Michael

Categories     Dinner     Lunch

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 Large cauliflower
2 red onion
2 leeks
250 g low fat cottage cheese
1 vegetable stock pot
40 g low fat cheddar cheese (grated)
low calorie cooking spray

Steps:

  • Start by chopping the cauliflower into florets, and the leeks and onions into slices. Put the cauliflower into a pan of boiling water and cook until tender.
  • Meanwhile, fry the leeks and onions in low calorie cooking spray until they're nice, soft and golden. Once the cauliflower is cooked, drain and combine the two in a pot and mix, along with the vegetable stock pot. If you overcook the cauliflower, you'll find that it might go a little mushy. Don't worry, it'll still taste good! (I sometimes find that mixing the vegetable stock pot in a little bit of boiling water in a mug until it's a thickish paste is better)
  • Once all that is combined, add the cottage cheese and mix until it's... mixed in! Add to a dish and sprinkle over the cheese. Put under the grill until the cheese is golden brown. Eat and enjoy!

CAULIFLOWER CHEESE



Cauliflower cheese image

Pop this classic side dish in the oven when you take your roast chicken out to rest, so there's no hot shelf juggling

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Side dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large cauliflower (leaves cut off), broken into pieces
500ml milk
4 tbsp flour
50g butter
100g strong cheddar, grated
2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs, if you have them

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, then add 1 large cauliflower, broken into pieces, and cook for 5 mins - lift out a piece to test, it should be cooked.
  • Drain the cauliflower, then tip into an ovenproof dish. Heat oven to 220C/200C/gas 7.
  • Put the saucepan back on the heat and add 500ml milk, 4 tbsp flour and 50g butter.
  • Keep whisking fast as the butter melts and the mixture comes to the boil - the flour will disappear and the sauce will begin to thicken. Whisk for 2 mins while the sauce bubbles and becomes nice and thick.
  • Turn off the heat, stir in most of the 100g grated cheddar cheese and pour over the cauliflower. Scatter over the remaining cheese, and 2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs if using.
  • Put in the oven and bake for 20 mins until bubbling.

CAULIFLOWER WITH CHEESE SAUCE



Cauliflower with Cheese Sauce image

This is an easy recipe for cauliflower cheese but it's pretty versatile. You can use the cheese sauce with any vegetables you have handy. I often put a layer of cooked kale or broccoli on the bottom, then arrange the cooked cauliflower florets on top. You can change the flavor of the sauce by adding different cheeses you might have in your fridge. It takes a bit of elbow work to make the sauce but it's worth it. This is delicious served with roast beef or lamb.

Provided by Ita

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Cauliflower

Time 48m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups 1% milk
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 ounces mature Cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place cauliflower in a large pot and pour in enough water to cover; bring to a boil and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a baking dish.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add flour and mix using a whisk or wooden spoon until smooth and mixture pulls away from the side of the saucepan, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in milk, a little at a time, and whisk continuously until sauce is thickened but still pourable, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir Parmesan cheese into sauce until melted; season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over all of the cauliflower. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
