La receta de coliflor gratinada de Gastón Acurio

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and can be used for sautéing.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + cornstarch

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water + cornstarch thickens the sauce.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: panko

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Panko gives a lighter texture, while crushed crackers are often cheaper.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 8-10 minutes.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add flour to the saucepan and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Gradually whisk in milk, stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Stir in cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until melted and smooth.

Combine steamed cauliflower with the cheese sauce in a baking dish, mixing well.

Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over the top of the cauliflower mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving, garnished with chopped parsley.
