Ingredients
500g Brussels SproutsCauliflower, small head40g Butter40g White Flour500-600 ml Milk (2%), soy is also fine100g - Parmesan Cheese or gruyere or hard goats cheese, grated1 small onion, chopped1 rasher bacon, cut into small pieces1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (freshly ground is best)salt and pepper to taste1 tsp Olive Oil
6 medium servings for a main dish. (I eat it as a main dish with a salad accompaniment). It would serve 8 or more as a side dish.
If you divide the meal into 4 large serves, as I did tonight, the calories come to 374. But I think the serve was too big and I ate too much so I've modified the recipe to serve 6!
DIRECTIONS
Cut a cross at the bottom of the brussels sprouts. Cut and/or break the cauliflower into small florets. Steam until tender.
Arrange in an ovenproof dish.
Saute onion in a pan with a little oil. Add the bacon and set aside when cooked.
Melt butter in a saucepan. Add flour and stir till it becomes a paste. Slowly add milk. Stir continuously with a whisk to avoid lumps. Don't worry too much if it's a tiny bit lumpy. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add the bacon and onion (or omit altogether). Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Pour mixture over brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Sprinkle a little extra cheese, pepper and a tad more nutmeg on top. Bake in a hot oven until golden at 200C for about 15 minutes.
