Cauliflower au gratin






Forget making a roux with flour and butter. This cheese sauce is super easy and amazingly delicious. You can use it on any vegetable, but in this case, I chose cauliflower - a vegetable very low in carbs - and made cauliflower au gratin.


Serves: 4-6

250ml Thickened cream
50 gms Tasty cheese (or more if you like it really cheesy)
Tablespoon cream cheese
Clove of garlic, crushed.
1 -2 tsp  mustard powder (to taste)
1-2 tsp English mustard (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons guar gum (a thickener available at good health food shops)
Paprika to sprinkle on top.

Place cream, garlic and cheese in saucepan on medium heat. 
Stir while cheese is melting. 
Add mustard (English and powder). Stir well. 
Add guar gum by sprinkling over top of cheesy mixture.
Stir until combined and keep on Heat until slightly thickened.
Place pre-cooked cauliflower in oven proof dish.
Pour cheese mixture over cauliflower.
Sprinkle paprika over top.

Bake in oven 180c for 10 minutes.
