MESA GRILL'S CAULIFLOWER-GREEN CHILE GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 10 by 10 by 2-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Set aside.
• Place the milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Melt the remaining butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until combined with the butter. Let the flour mixture cook for about 60 seconds, do not allow it to get dark. Slowly whisk in the hot milk and continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken. Let the sauce cook for at least 4 to 5 minutes, whisking constantly. Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in the Monterey Jack, Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses until slightly smooth, season well with salt and pepper.
• Place the cauliflower in a large bowl, add the cheese sauce, and poblano and stir until combined. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan and dot the top with the goat cheese. Bake until the cauliflower is tender and the top is lightly golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.

ANOOP'S WEEKEND ROTI

Steps:

• Put the cauliflower, cilantro, ginger, chile, coriander, and salt into a bowl and mix well.
• Take a golf ball-size piece of roti dough and form it into a round disc. Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out the disc with a lightly-floured rolling pin until it is a thin patty (like a tortilla). Sprinkle 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of filling onto the surface of the roti and then roll out a second roti into a thin patty and place it over the filling. Press them together and gently roll it a few times with the rolling pin.
• Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and gently put the roti into it. Cook for a few minutes on the first side, until small bubbly spots appear and then flip it and cook the second side. Remove and keep warm and continue this process until all the rotis are done.
• To make roti dough: Combine the flour and water in a bowl and knead until it forms a smooth round ball similar to a stiff pizza dough.

FOUR-CHEESE CAULIFLOWER GRATIN

Steps:

• For the sauce, melt the butter in a shallow saucepan. When it's just starting to sizzle, stir in the flour to make a paste. Cook for a minute, then gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth, thick sauce. Stir through the mustard, cream cheese, truffle oil (if using) and parmesan, and cook over a low heat until thickened. Season with lots of black pepper.
• Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Trim the leaves off the cauliflowers and slice into rough steaks about 1cm thick. Don't worry about the outside bits not being slices - it will all be used. Assemble the dish a bit like a lasagne. Spoon a quarter of the cheese sauce into a large baking dish and spread it out, then add half of the cauliflower. Repeat the process, finishing with a thick layer of sauce. Scatter over the mozzarella, and the gruyère or cheddar and crispy onions.
• Bake for 1 hr 30-1 hr 45 mins until the cheese is golden and the cauliflower is soft but not mushy. If you want a golden finish, you can grill it (keep an eye on it) or leave it in when you turn the oven up for the crackling, if making the salt & vinegar roast pork as well. Once baked, leave to stand for 10 mins before serving in the middle of the table.
