We were lucky enough to be adopted by Jo & her family this Christmas as we stayed in Sydney. We went over to Jo's place in Bronte for dinner and they had prepared a beautiful Christmas feast. There was ham & turkey and lots of vegetarian options for Jonathan & me. One of them was cauliflower cheese - & it was delicious. It was so long since I'd had this dish & since Christmas I've made it quite a few times. I'm not a real fan of winter, but I do like winter food & am looking forward to having this cheesy dish again as the months get colder.
To make this I parboil the cauliflower and then cover it in a baking dish with a cheese sauce - much like the one you'd use for lasagne. I use whatever cheese we have at home, but like to include something with a bite, like parmesan or extra tasty.
I lightly cook some onion rings that go on top before the dish goes in the oven. On the meal pictured below I've added some dukkah that Jonathan had made for another meal. It gave a really nice crunch & flavour as it had cumin and coriander seeds in it.
Once you've got your cauliflower cheese in the oven & it starts bubbling & the top has gone a lovely golden colour, get it onto your plate & enjoy that delicious cheesy-ness this winter.
