Cauliflower (gratinated)
Ingredients:
♦
1/2 head cauliflower (about 250 g)
♦
3 lemon slices
♦
1 tbsp. butter
♦
1 heaped tsp. flour
♦
1 tbsp. lemon juice
♦
1 tbsp. slivered almonds
♦
2 tbsp. gratin cheese (grated)
♦
Salt, pepper, nutmeg
Preparation:
1) Divide the cauliflower into florets and wash
them.
2) Cook the cauliflower with the lemon slices in
boiling, salted water for 8 –10 minutes until
the cauliflower is al dente. Retain about 150
ml of the cooking water before pouring the rest
away.
3) Melt the butter in a saucepan and then brown
the flour, while stirring continuously, for about
1 minute.
4) Continue stirring and pour in the cauliflower
water and let it cook for about 2 minutes. If the
roux gets too solid, gradually add more water
until a creamy consistency is achieved. Season
with lemon juice, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
5) Place the cauliflower in a baking dish (about
14 cm in diameter) and pour the sauce evenly
over it.
6) Sprinkle in the cheese and almond slivers over it.
7) Place the baking dish on the baking tray 9.
8) Bake the prepared dish at 200 °C in a pre-
heated oven, using top and bottom heat, for
about 20 minutes on the bottom rail.
