Cauliflower & Blue Cheese Gratin

Buttered Heirloom Carrots with Toasted Cumin Seeds

Sauté Courgettes with Lemon & Mint Yoghurt Dressing

Method

Cauliflower & Blue Cheese Gratin

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Cut the cauliflower into small florets and steam them for about 5-7 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in the cream, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the blue cheese, grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Gratin

    In a baking dish, combine the steamed cauliflower florets and pour the cheese sauce over them. Make sure the cauliflower is well coated.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Buttered Heirloom Carrots with Toasted Cumin Seeds

  1. 5

    Prepare the Carrots

    Wash and peel the heirloom carrots, then cut them into equal-sized pieces for even cooking.

  2. 6

    Toast the Cumin Seeds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  3. 7

    Cook the Carrots

    In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 10-12 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.

  4. 8

    Finish the Dish

    Stir in honey and the toasted cumin seeds. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Sauté Courgettes with Lemon & Mint Yoghurt Dressing

  1. 9

    Prepare the Courgettes

    Wash and slice the courgettes into thin rounds.

  2. 10

    Sauté the Courgettes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the courgette slices and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly browned. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 11

    Make the Yoghurt Dressing

    In a bowl, combine plain yogurt, lemon juice, chopped fresh mint, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
