Whole Roasted Cauliflower With Cheddar Sauce Food

WHOLE BAKED CAULIFLOWER CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Pull any large leaves off the cauliflower, but leave any smaller ones attached. Carefully lower the cauliflower into the water and boil for 15 mins, then drain and set aside.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Melt the butter in a medium pan over a medium heat, then stir in the flour and paprika, and cook for 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the milk until smooth, then mix in the mustard. Return the pan to the heat and bring the mixture to the boil, whisking continuously. Add two-thirds of the cheese and whisk until the cheese has melted. Season to taste.
• Put the cauliflower in the middle of a deep baking dish and pour over the cheese sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for 30-35 mins until golden brown and bubbling. Scatter with the chives before serving.

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH CHEDDAR BEER SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the cauliflower, pour water into a large pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the salt, olive oil, lemon juice, butter, sugar, red pepper flakes, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Stir until butter has melted.
• Gently lower the cauliflower into the simmering water. The cauliflower should simmer top down in the liquid. No need to stir much. Just let it simmer away for 15 minutes or until very soft. To test the softness, insert a thin knife into the cauliflower. The knife should meet no resistance.
• While the cauliflower simmers, place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Carefully lift the cauliflower from the water and place in a colander to drain.
• Place warm cauliflower in a pie plate. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Sprinkle with smoked paprika.
• Roast for 30 minutes, rotating the pan two or three times during baking.
• To extra brown the cauliflower, turn the oven to broil and roast for 3 to 5 more minutes. Keep an eye on the cauliflower to ensure it doesn't burn too much.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool while you make the cheese sauce. The cauliflower will be piping hot.
• To make the Cheddar Beer Sauce, heat butter in a small sauce pot over medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk together to form a paste and cook for a few seconds to develop a nutty aroma.
• Slowly stream in the milk and whisk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the beer and Worcestershire sauce and whisk until smooth, well incorporated and thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the mustard and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and add the cheese. Stir with a wooden spoon until melted and smooth.
• To serve, place warm cauliflower in a serving dish. Pour the warm cheddar beer sauce around the cauliflower and serve. Enjoy!
