Cauliflower Cheese is such a comforting old stalwart, and I 'pimped' this one a little today with some chopped chard and little pieces of chopped ham. A creamy cheese sauce, enlivened with a good 'poke' of hot English mustard, and cheesy breadcrumbs on the top make for a warming and tasty supper!
I usually add zucchini n broccoli to cauliflower, chard sounds a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI had broccoli in the house too, but the chard gives a really nice texture - I chop the stems and cook with the cauliflower florets, and then shred the green leaves and cook with the rest of the veg just for a minute at the end. I kept the cooking water, too, as it has a good light veg flavour to make some carrot soup tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteyUM yUM yUM.......Good God that sounds great, I love cauliflower cheese and I also happen to love chard in any kind of cheese sauce so this sounds fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHi Pistachio and Rose! Welcome! Do give it a go, the chard stalks and leaves add another dimension to the dish - with or without the ham
