Cauliflower cheese This recipe turns what's usually a high-fat family favourite into a healthier option for everyone. So you can still enjoy your dish, while cutting back on fat. Serves: 4 adults Preparation time: 10 mins Cooking time: 20 mins Ingredients: 1 cauliflower large, broken into florets 450ml 1% fat milk 80g reduced fat Cheddar cheese sauce mix 1 tsp wholegrain mustard 1 pinch ground black pepper 40g reduced fat mature Cheddar cheese grated

What to do: 1. Preheat a medium grill. Put 4 individual heatproof dishes or one large baking dish in the grill compartment, to warm. 2. Cook the cauliflower in a large saucepan of boiling water for 10-12 minutes, until tender. Drain thoroughly, reserving 150ml of the cooking liquid. Share the cauliflower between the warm dishes or put it into one large dish. 3. Mix together the reserved cooking liquid with the milk. Follow the pack instructions to make the cheese sauce with the milk mixture. Remove from the heat and add the mustard (if using), then season with some pepper. 4. Pour the sauce over the cauliflower and sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Grill for 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve at once.

Tip 1: Serve the cauliflower cheese with slices of wholemeal bread to mop up the cheese sauce. Tip 2: Next time, make cauliflower and broccoli cheese by using equal quantities of cauliflower and broccoli.
