The Good Bit
- Trim the stems from the cauliflower and place the stalks and floret in the boiling water for about 15 minutes, in the meantime melt your butter in the sauce pan and add the flour, keep stirring and cook for 1 minute.
- Keep stirring whilst you gradually add the milk, gently bringing it to the boil, cook for 2-3 minutes then add 3/4 of the cheese and season. Drop in all but 1 tablespoon of the diced tomatoes and keep stirring until the cheese melts. Remove the pan from the heat and keep warm.
- When the cauliflower is done, drain it and then place in your serving dish, pour over the cheese sauce and the sprinkle over the remaining tomatoes and cheese, serve immediately, of grill to brown off the top, it's up to you.
