Ingredients:
- Cauliflower - 500 g
- Any hard cheese - 100-120 g
- Vegetable oil - 20 ml
- Garlic - 2 cloves
- Onions - 2 pcs.
- Salt
Ingredients for the sauce:
- Wheat flour - 60 g
- Butter - 60 g
- Milk - 0.5 l
- Ground black pepper
- Nutmeg
- Salt
Method of preparation:Boil the cauliflower until half-cooked. Then cut it into pieces and place them on a baking sheet, the bottom of which is pre-greased with vegetable oil. Sprinkle it with vegetable oil on top. Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. While the cabbage is baking, prepare the Béchamel sauce according to the classic recipe. To prepare the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan or a saucepan with a thick bottom. Then add the flour. Mix everything well and heat for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly. The main thing is that the flour does not fry, otherwise the sauce will become darker than required. After this, add milk (cold). Then simmer the sauce over low heat until thickened. When the sauce has thickened enough, pass it through a sieve to get rid of unnecessary lumps. Then add black ground pepper, nutmeg and salt. Next, fry the chopped onion and garlic in vegetable oil, grind in a blender and add to the sauce. Remove the browned cauliflower from the oven, pour the sauce over it and sprinkle with grated cheese. Then put it back in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Transfer the finished dish to a serving plate and garnish with herbs.
