30 g butter
1 Tbsp flour
300 ml milk
50 g grated cheese
a pinch of nutmeg powder
Method
Make the sauce
Melt the butter in a small saucepan.
Keep the heat high and stir in the flour.
Gradually pour the milk stirring all the time.
Use a whisk to smooth any lumps.
Add the nutmeg powder.
Add more milk if a thinner sauce is required.
Cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in the cheese.
Make the dish
Place the vegetables in an ovenproof dish.
Pour the sauce over.
If liked, you can cover with more grated cheese.
Heat at 200C until lightly brown (15 minutes).

Cauliflower does not keep too well in the fridge. Steam the florets of a whole cauliflower and freeze half. Steam the whole packet of fresh green beans and freeze any you don’t use.
