LEEK AND CAULIFLOWER GRATIN image

I have some fresh leeks and cauliflower coming from my organic delivery company this week, so I went looking for a recipe to use both. I was happily surprised to find this one which also uses cheese--my biggest love! Making it in just a few days! Recipe: laaloosh.com 01-21-15

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large leeks, trimmed and sliced
1 medium head cauliflower, trimmed and chopped into florets
1/2 c panko breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 c milk or half and half
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Place leeks and cauliflower into a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • 2. In a medium saucepan melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly until butter and flour are combined. Slowly whisk in the milk and bring to a boil, whisking frequently until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
  • 3. Stir in cheese and whisk until melted; remove from heat.
  • 4. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over leeks and cauliflower. Sprinkle with Panko crumbs on top.

I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower, but I loved this gratin. The cheese sauce really masked the cauliflower flavor.

This gratin is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some cauliflower and leeks that were about to go bad, so I threw them in this dish and it turned out great.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The leek and cauliflower pair perfectly together and the cheese sauce is divine.
