Cauliflower cheese is a staple of any good roast dinner. It is a heavenly side but can also hold its own as the main event. And, as was true in my case, it could even be baby\u2019s first taste of solid food. Cauliflower cheese in a jar really was my first real meal. In fact, it was the only solid food I would eat for months \u2013 my poor mother\u2026 Nowadays, the prospect of cauliflower cheese in a jar is a much less appealing thought. I will be honest and say that I went off the dish for a very long time. Too much of a good thing, I guess. But, more recently, I started to wonder if the secret to rediscovering my love of the dish might have been hiding in plain sight all along, right there in the name: cheese.<\/h4>\n
Grana Padano is the hero ingredient of so many of my favourite dishes and so I decided to work with the Grana Padano Riserva 20-month to create my own, perfect cauliflower cheese. The process of reading through existing methods, experimenting with different flavours, and tweaking here and there has resulted in one of my favourite recipes yet. The nuttiness of the Grana Padano works perfectly to create exactly the kind of velvety cheese sauce you won\u2019t be able to resist on a cosy evening when it\u2019s a little colder outside.
Cheese is obviously just one half of the name of the dish. But \u2013 if I am being truly honest – this recipe would taste just as good with broccoli, or (ideally) even with macaroni. We don\u2019t pick the dish for \u2018cavolfiore\u2019 or \u2018cabbage flower\u2019 (a vegetable that ultimately smells too much like your food compost bin). On its own it is just not appealing. This dish is all about the sauce.<\/h4>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”5743ec59-06ba-4cc0-a4d5-3225a18a9137″ max_width=”90%” custom_margin=”-19px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”6px|||||” locked=”off” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Ingredienti” _builder_version=”4.23.2″ _module_preset=”ea8953a0-eec6-46b8-b8fc-f7038b09ca01″ text_font=”|700|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Put the cauliflower florets into a high sided baking dish, sprinkle with salt, garlic granules, paprika and Grana Padano. Drizzle over the olive oil and toss with your hands until the cauliflower is coated.<\/h4>\n

Bake at 190C fan for 30 minutes, giving them a little shake in the middle of cooking time to ensure they cook evenly.
Whilst this is baking, make the crispy shallots by sprinkling the rings with a little flour and then frying in oil over a high heat until just golden.

To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan until bubbling, then stir in flour to make a paste. Cook for a few minutes until the flour is frothy, before gradually adding the milk, stirring continually over a medium heat. Once all the milk is added, bring to the boil and stir until thickened. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in 200g of Grana Padano.<\/h4>\n
