Made with:
Queen Butter Beans

Directions

step 1
Pre heat the oven to 190C /Gas 5
step 2
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

For the cheese sauce

step 4
Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat. Once melted, stir in flour. Reduce the heat to low and add the milk a splash at a time, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
step 5
Stir in the mustard and roughly two thirds of the grated cheese. Season well with black pepper and salt to taste.
CHEFS TIP: If the sauce is looking a little thick, pour in some of the liquid from the beans to loosen.
step 6
Drain the beans and pour them into the cheese sauce. Mix well to combine. Tumble the cauliflower into a large roasting dish then pour over the cheesy bean mixture.
step 7
Mix the breadcrumbs, parsley and cheese in a bowl then scatter this mixture to cover the dish. Bake for 25 minutes until bubbling and golden on top.
step 8
Serve as a side for your Sunday roasts, with a side of fresh greens or simply as an indulgent cheesy bean feast by itself.
