Cauliflower ’N’ Cheese

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, florets removed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Pepper
  • 4 cups cooked grains (you may use barley, brown rice or a mixture)
  • 8 tablespoons shredded Comté or Gruyère cheese
  • A few fresh chives, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to broil.

Put the cauliflower florets on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and drizzle them with olive oil, then lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Slide into the oven. After about 15 minutes, once the florets start to brown, pull them out of the oven and turn them over, so the other side gets brown, too. This will take about 10 more minutes. When browned on both sides, remove florets from the oven and let cool. (I often do this ahead of time.)

In a jam jar that’ll hold at least 2 cups, layer 1 cup of grains on the bottom and 1 cup of roasted cauliflower florets on the top. Add 2 tablespoons of cheese on top of each one, then pop into the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese is nice and bubbly. Snip fresh chives on top and serve.
