Tuesday 2 April - Cauli Cheese and Crispy Chicken

I used to have a recipe book called The Almost Vegetarian, which was a Sainsburys book by Joceline Dimbleby - this has since gone missing, however, one recipe I cooked regularly from the book I think I can remember.

It's a cauliflower cheese, but with some extra bits added to it, making it a bit special.

The roux starts with garlic and sundried tomatoes, before adding the flour, and then the sauce was finished with half milk and half natural yoghurt and some grated parmesan.

 

 The sauce was poured over the cauliflower which I steamed for 4 minutes, and topped with fresh breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan  and olive oil, then baked until golden.

To serve with this we made some crispy chicken - bashed out chicken breasts were dipped in flour, and then a mixture of egg, mustard and chopped tarragon.

And then into some panko breadcrumbs.

These were then shallow fried until lovely and golden.
