Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the bacon for 5 mins until just starting to crisp. Add the onion and sizzle for 12 mins until soft and golden.
• Meanwhile, tip the potatoes into a large pan of water, making sure they are well covered. Bring to a gentle boil, then add the cauliflower and cook everything for 6-7 mins until both are tender. Tip into a colander and drain thoroughly.
• In a gratin dish, layer the potato and cauliflower, then scatter with bacon, onion and a small handful of cheese. Drizzle each layer with a little cream and season. Continue until all the layers are finished, pour over the remaining cream and scatter with the last of the cheese. Bake for 30 mins until bubbling. Remove from the oven and set aside for 1 min to rest. Serve straight from the dish with a crisp green salad.

• Tip the spinach into a large saucepan, add 2 tbsp water and cook with the lid on over a low heat for 3-4 mins until wilted, then tip into a sieve and press the excess moisture out of it with the back of a wooden spoon. Set aside.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Melt the butter in a saucepan over a low heat until foaming, then stir in the flour to create a thick paste. Cook for 2 mins, remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the milk in several additions until lump-free. Return to the heat and whisk until thickened. Whisk in the mustard, most of the cheese and the chives. Season to taste.
• Arrange the vegetables, including the cauliflower leaves, in a medium ovenproof dish. Pour over the sauce, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 25-30 mins or until golden and bubbling.

VEGAN CAULIFLOWER GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 °F.
• Cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
• Add cauliflower pieces to a small-medium sized baking dish (any dish that fits the cauliflower). A dish with a lid is best.
• Add vegan butter to a microwave-safe dish along with minced garlic. Microwave in 30-45 second intervals until the butter melts completely.
• Add soy milk and corn starch to the butter (use larger bowl if needed). Whisk until there are no clumps of starch left (use a small whisk or fork).
• Add remaining sauce ingredients to the milk mixture: vegan cheese shreds, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, salt, smoked paprika, dry oregano, dry basil and ground black pepper.
• Stir or whisk until well combined.
• Pour sauce over your cauliflower in the baking dish. Stir to coat cauliflower in sauce.
• Place a lid on the baking dish (or tin foil if there isn't a lid) and bake for 50 minutes total. Stir the cauliflower at least once, if not twice, during the cooking process. I recommend setting the timer to 25 minutes, stirring, then set for another 25 minutes.
• Return the lid/ tin foil to the baking dish before putting back into your oven.
• The cauliflower is done when it's fork tender but still has a slight crunch to it (if you prefer it to be softer, cook longer). The sauce should be thick and creamy too.
• Serve hot.

CAULIFLOWER GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cook the cauliflower florets in a large pot of boiling salted water for 5 to 6 minutes, until tender but still firm. Drain.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes. Pour the hot milk into the butter-flour mixture and stir until it comes to a boil. Boil, whisking constantly, for 1 minute, or until thickened. Off the heat, add 1 teaspoon of salt, the pepper, nutmeg, 1/2 cup of the Gruyere, and the Parmesan.
• Pour 1/3 of the sauce on the bottom of an 8 by 11 by 2-inch baking dish. Place the drained cauliflower on top and then spread the rest of the sauce evenly on top. Combine the bread crumbs with the remaining 1/4 cup of Gruyere and sprinkle on top. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and drizzle over the gratin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is browned. Serve hot or at room temperature.
