What to have with cauliflower cheese?

i did this last week with pasta and some garden peas.
it went down a treat

Fry off some onions and cook some pasta, then mix it all up and make a pasta bake.

We have it with Sausage and Mash too.

To be honest, i never thought of it as a main meal, and always served it as a side dish.

When I was young our family just had cauliflower cheese with vinegar sprinkled over and loads of pepper! We had bread & butter triangles with it.

I still love it that way but DH and co say they need MORE - so its usually some tasty sausages or unsmoked bacon.

Am racking my brains to think of another veg (scrumy!) I often cook and use with the cauliflower. Back in a mo - mind's gone a blank!:p

Romanesque!!:j It's kind of a cross between cauliflower and broccoli and is THE most wonderful looking vegetable ever! It's the size of a cauliflower but green and has sort of shell-like spirals all over it.

Cook it same as cauli and either use alone to make a "cauli cheese" or combine it with cauli. Makes a lovely colourful alternative and with some Red Leicester or nice coloured cheese it's delicious.

They are NOT expensive and SO lovely.

Pennylane, I love Romanesque too. It's just the prettiest vegetable ever, isn't it? And I like it's subtle flavour

Definitely Churchmouse (and I love your name!!)

I also sometimes make a Vegetable Fricasee dish with cauli, romanesque, broccoli, carrots, onions, celery and whatever other veg I have to hand and then I make a cheese sauce and sprinkle a few peanuts on top. That is VERY nice.

The romanesque gives a nice colour to that as well.

Haven't had cauliflower cheese for ages - this is making me hungry! We usually served it with toast and grilled tomatoes...just going to check if I have the ingredients now!

My mum used to serve cauliflower cheese with a baked potato when we were little.

Haven't had this for years tho will have to look for a receipe and see if I can convince DS to try/eat it!!

Hi there

I love it in a jacket potato... you could always crisp up some bacon and crumble over it too
