Indulgent whole roasted cauliflower smothered in creamy blue cheese sauce, crowned with buttery toasted hazelnuts. Perfect for guests.
Ingredients:
  • 1 medium cauliflower
  • 80g butter
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 257.50 gm milk
  • 300ml pure cream
  • 60g creamy mild blue cheese
  • 62.50 ml finely grated parmesan
  • 62.50 ml skinless hazelnuts, roughly chopped
  • 62.50 ml natural sliced almonds
  • 1 bunch of sage, leaves picked
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Leave some leaves on the cauliflower and place it in a 24cm round baking dish. Coat with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and roast for 1 hour and 35 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 30g butter. Add flour and stir for 1 to 2 minutes until bubbling. Gradually pour in milk and cream. Bring to boil, then lower heat and stir for 5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and mix in blue cheese, parmesan, and egg yolks.
  • Take the cauliflower out of the oven, then remove the foil. Increase the oven temperature to 240C/220C fan-forced. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden.
  • Melt the rest of the butter in a frying pan over medium heat, and add the nuts. Cook for 3 minutes until lightly golden, stirring occasionally. Then add the sage and cook for another 2 minutes until crispy. Remove from heat and spoon the nut mixture over the cauliflower. Serve and enjoy.
