Curry Cauliflower cheese


I've been busy the last couple of days (it's a long weekend and it's even sunny for once - yay!) so I haven't had time to post this delicious side dish yet.


Thursday evening,  I wanted some good old fashioned comfort food and decided to try and copy the amazing curry cauliflower cheese that is part of the Prince George (vegetarian sunday roast) in Brighton. Possibly the best sunday roast in Brighton (definitely the best vegetarian one) and the cauliflower cheese is a large part of what is so delicious.

Next time I'd probably up the curry spices with some tumeric and maybe dial down the cheese but this really hit the spot.
Makes two small ramekins.

Spicy roasted cauliflower and butternut squash


My original plan for dinner tonight was to have a side salad to accompany my leftover mini lasagne. However, I used all the spinach making my lunch this morning and had to come up with another side dish idea using what was in the fridge.  Hence, a spicy butternut squash and cauliflower combo with capers. The saltiness of the capers and sweetness of the butternut squash add a nice balancing taste to the spice of the chilli oil.
