My Romesco &amp; Cauliflower Cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Well the weather has taken a turn for the worst today with nought but torrential rain and a cold wind. Not really summer weather so here is a comfort dish to keep you warm and cosy on these abnormal summer days. I must say though the ground does need the rain as it has been so dry for so long now. I love the vibrant green that the romesco brings to the dish and if you are wondering what it tastes like well it&#8217;s a cross between broccoli and cauliflower.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/romanesco-cheese-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-95\" src=\"https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/romanesco-cheese-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/romanesco-cheese-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/romanesco-cheese-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/romanesco-cheese-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/romanesco-cheese-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/theknobblyplate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Romanesco-Cheese-320x321.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">ROMESCO &amp; CAULIFLOWER CHEESE<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">main course<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">British<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">The Knobbly Plate<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT20M\">20 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT40M\">40 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT1H\">1 hour<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4 Persons<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 romanesco cauliflower<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 cauliflower<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 tbsp butter, at room temperature<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 tbsp plain flour<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">500ml whole milk<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">A 100g chunk of Cheddar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 stale slices of bread<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">A pinch of mixed spice or chilli powder<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 tbsp balsamic vinegar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Sea salt and freshly ground pepper<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">\u00bd tbsp olive oil<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 large handfuls of watercress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Pull the leaves off both the cauliflowers. Chop them into florets. Pop the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket or colander.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Pour boiling water into a steamer or pan. Pop the basket or colander above the hot water. Cover. Steam for 15-20 mins till the cauliflower is tender. Drain and tip into an ovenproof dish. Heat your oven to 180\u00b0C\/Fan 160\u00b0C\/Gas 4.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Mash the butter and flour together with a fork. Pour 500ml milk into a pan. Bring to the boil.

Slowly whisk in the flour mixture, a little at a time, till it\u2019s all combined and smooth.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Put the pan back on the heat. Bring to the boil. Whisk and simmer for 2 mins till the sauce is thick. Take off the heat.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Coarsely grate the Cheddar. Stir two-thirds of it into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over the cauliflowers.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Blitz or grate the stale bread till you have a 25g batch of breadcrumbs. Mix the breadcrumbs with a pinch of mixed spice or cayenne pepper and the remaining cheese. Sprinkle over the top of the cauliflower. Bake for 20 mins till golden and bubbling.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">While the cauliflower cheese bakes, whisk the balsamic vinegar with \u00bd tbsp olive oil and a little salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Rinse the watercress. Pat dry with kitchen paper. Pop into a bowl. Add the balsamic dressing. Toss to mix.
