Time 1h

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 head broccoli
1 head cauliflower
300 ml unsweetened pea milk
4 cherry tomatoes
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp mustard powder
3 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)

Steps:

  • Parboil the broccoli and about a third of the cauliflower for 5 minutes, so they still have some bite. Drain and set aside.
  • Boil the rest of the cauliflower (can do this at the same time and just remove the veg for step 1 first) until very soft, 10 minutes.
  • Place the cauliflower in a blender and add the milk gradually, until you have the desired texture. 300 ml will give a thick puree consistency when baked. Add the flavourings and any other herbs or spices you would like.
  • Stir through the veg from step 1 and transfer to a dish. Place the thinly sliced tomatoes and seeds on top, and bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes at 200C.

Categories     Side Dish     Casseroles     Cauliflower

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces fresh cauliflower
6 ounces fresh broccoli
2 tablespoons butter
2 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups milk
1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon English mustard
cayenne pepper to taste
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • In a medium saucepan with enough water to cover, boil cauliflower and broccoli until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, and transfer to a medium baking dish.
  • In a separate medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter, and stir in flour. Gradually whisk in milk, and increase heat to medium. As the mixture thickens, whisk in English mustard, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Continue whisking until a thick sauce has formed, being careful not to allow the mixture to boil. Sprinkle in 2/3 of the cheese, and stir until melted.
  • Pour sauce over broccoli and cauliflower. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, until bubbly and lightly brown. Sprinkle with remaining cheese during the final 10 minutes of cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and vibrant vegetables: Select cauliflower and broccoli florets that are firm, green, and free of blemishes. Fresh vegetables will provide the best flavor and texture to the bake.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform-sized florets: This will ensure even cooking and a visually appealing dish. Aim for florets that are about 1-2 inches in size.
  • Season the vegetables generously: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and seasonings to enhance the flavor of the vegetables. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and salt and pepper. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
  • Roast the vegetables until tender: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables and caramelizes the edges for a slightly crispy texture. Roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Make a creamy vegan cheese sauce: The cheese sauce is what makes this bake so rich and decadent. Use a combination of cashews, nutritional yeast, and plant-based milk to create a smooth and creamy sauce. Season the sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble the bake: Layer the roasted vegetables and the cheese sauce in a baking dish. You can also add other ingredients to the bake, such as cooked rice, quinoa, or lentils, for a more substantial meal.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the casserole for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese sauce is bubbly and the top is golden brown. Serve the bake hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of chili flakes.

Conclusion:

This vegan cauliflower and broccoli bake is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of roasted vegetables and creamy cheese sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. Plus, it's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. So next time you're looking for a vegan meal that is both healthy and delicious, give this cauliflower and broccoli bake a try.
