Recipe ingredients

1 Tbsp (15 mL) butter*
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup (60 mL) all-purpose flour*
2 cups (500 mL) milk, heated
1 medium head of cauliflower, cut in pieces
1 cup (250 mL) shredded jalapeno-flavoured Canadian Monterey Jack or Havarti
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1 Tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh chives or red pepper flakes (optional)

Preparation

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and cook onion, stirring for 3 minutes or until softened. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk; bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
Simmer, stirring for 5 minutes or until thickened. Do not boil.
Remove saucepan from heat; stir in cheese and salt into sauce. Stir until cheese is melted
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook cauliflower for 5 minutes or until tender. Drain well.
Pour over cauliflower to serve. Sprinkle with chives or red pepper flakes (if using).

Suggestion

Use frozen cauliflower instead of fresh or try one of the many varieties of mixed frozen vegetables. Cook until heated through.

Variation:
For a smoky Tex-Mex flavour, in addition to the flavoured cheese, mince 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce and add to sauce with cheese, or stir in 1 Tbsp (15 mL) smoky chipotle barbecue sauce.
