Have been in all day so thought I’d cook something for dinner outside on the Cobb now the bonfire night smog from last night is settling. Simple Cauliflower cheese.

7 Australian heat beads with 2 fire lighters and the Kelly kettle to start them off. I just love the fire up the chimney in the dark.

A head of cauliflower floretted (don’t think that’s a word but you know what I mean), steamed for 5 mins then left to cool.Pyrex dish buttered and cauliflower placed inside.

Roux made with about 25g butter and plain flour and skimmed milk added to desired thickness. Seasoned with pepper, grated nutmeg, ground cinnamon and English mustard. Then some cheddar crumbled in. No salt as there’s enough in the cheese. The sauce was poured over the cauliflower and camembert layered on top.859A55BF-2D1E-4178-81E6-EDE15C060123.jpegThe topping was made from homemade granary bread crumbed with garlic and whole grain mustard blitzed in.

Nearly forgot the end result photo.

The left overs will be used for topping a lasagne next week.
