I should probably add to this also.. Since Im doing the same thing as cheebs and I dont want him getting all the credit hehe..
ok.. for todays lesson we have..
Cauliflower & Broccoli Au Gratin ( not as simple as you may think..its not just veg and melted cheese.)
Cauliflower & Broccoli Au Gratin....
You need..
1/2 Cauliflower
1/2 Broccoli
40g plain flour
40g butter
seasoning (salt and pepper)
500mls infused milk ( 1 bay leaf, 2 cloves,4 black peppercorns, boil this, then strain)
60g Grated cheese
Breadcrumbs (you can choose how much you wanna use)
Cut broccoli & cauliflower into flowerettes .. ( that means just cut em into the little segments. Very easy to see these ) ..
Steam broccoli and cauliflower. ( every now and then poke with a knife to see if there cooked.. They should be still kinda hard but almost soft. )
While steaming your veg, make the bechamel and then add ya cheese to make your mornay. Cheebs has already told you how to make these. I have just given the amounts to use. Try and time these things so your mornay is still hot when you add it to your veg.
Place your broccoli , cauliflower, mornay , breadcrumbs and a little more grated cheese in a oven proof dish. Either place this under your grill or a salamander. ( unless your lucky enough to have a blow torch use that ) .
Have your cheese looking a golden brown colour. Dont be burning it cause its gonna taste like shit. :)
Ah...next lesson...some other time.. hah
Enjoy.
:D
