Four-cheese cauliflower gratin image

Combine four cheeses - mozzarella, cheddar or gruyère, cream cheese and parmesan - to make this decadent Sunday lunch side. Add truffle oil for luxury

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Side dish

Time 2h10m

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cauliflowers
125g ball mozzarella , torn into pieces
200g gruyère or cheddar, grated
30g crispy onions
25g butter
25g plain flour
300ml whole milk
30g English mustard
100g cream cheese
1 tsp truffle oil (optional)
100g parmesan or vegetarian alternative, finely grated

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.

GRATIN OF CAULIFLOWER WITH GRUYERE



Gratin of Cauliflower With Gruyere image

I love anything with gruyere and can't wait to try this dish!! From Cooking Light 11/08...."Gruyère's nutty, earthy flavor is a nice match for subtle cauliflower, and crisp breadcrumbs add texture. Substitute broccoli for the cauliflower, if you prefer. You can prepare all the elements for the dish a day ahead, if necessary. Refrigerate the sauce, the cauliflower, and the breadcrumb mixture separately, and simply assemble before baking."

Tips:

  • Select the right cauliflower: Choose a cauliflower head that is compact and heavy for its size, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with brown spots or blemishes.
  • Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for florets that are about 1-2 inches in size.
  • Blanch the cauliflower florets: This step helps to remove the raw flavor from the cauliflower and also helps it to retain its color when cooked.
  • Make sure the béchamel sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, it will not hold its shape in the gratin.
  • Use a good quality Gruyère cheese: Gruyère is a nutty, flavorful cheese that melts well. It is the classic cheese used in gratin dishes.
  • Don't overcook the gratin: The cauliflower should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked cauliflower will become mushy.

Conclusion:

Gratin of cauliflower with Gruyère is a classic French dish that is both delicious and easy to make. It is a perfect side dish for roasted chicken, grilled fish, or steak. The creamy, cheesy sauce and the tender cauliflower are sure to please everyone at the table. With the tips provided in this article, you can make a perfect gratin of cauliflower every time.
