Coliflor gratinada

Ok, this is such a simple recipe but so typical to find in Spanish cuisine. When you are low on creativity, this is a perfect dish to make on the run. Can be made with brocoli or cauliflower or any other veggies that you fancy. All you need is a veggie, bechamel sauce and cheese :)

Coliflor gratinada


Ingredients:
1/2 cauliflower
1 cup of bechamel sauce (see lasagna recipe for bechamel sauce recipe bechamel sauce)
1/2 cup of cheese (I used mozzarella)

Cut cauliflower into small pieces. I tend to steam my veggies because the nutrients are not "washed" away by the water when boiled. They also taste better and are crunchier. I steamed it for about 15 mins in order to get them really soft.


 Place the cooked cauliflower into an oven safe dish and pour the bechamel over the veggies. Add the grated cheese on top. (sorry for the bad picture... it was pretty steamy!)


Broil for about 5 to 10 mins (really depends on your oven here) until you get a nice golden look.
Quick and simple. Buen provecho :)
