Ingredients
- 750 g cauliflower about 11 cups or 26 oz
- 500 g potatoes 2 ½ cups
- 200 g ham 1 cup
- 25 g butter ⅛ cup
- 2 tablespoon plain flour
- 300 ml whole milk 1 ¼ cups
- 200 ml water ¾ cup
- 1 vegetable stock cube
- 50 g strong cheese like cheddar, parmesan or gouda ¼ cup
- ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
- lemon juice
- sugar
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit)
- Divide the cauliflower into little florets. Peal the potatoes and quarter them. Add both the cauliflower and potatoes into boiling salted water and cook for 10 minutes. Then drain.
Sauce
- To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan. Sweat the flour in the butter and then add the milk and water. Season with pepper, nutmeg, a dash of lemon juice and a little sugar to taste. Don't worry if the sauce ends up a little thick, as the cauliflower will add a little liquid.
- Place the cauliflower and potatoes in the casserole dish. Chop the ham into small cubes and sprinkle on top. Now pour the sauce evenly over the dish.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
