Gourmet Recipe
Broccoli and Cauliflower baked in a Cheesy Wine Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb cauliflower
  • 1 lb broccoli florets
  • 2 TBSP butter
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped shallots
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 TBSP all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 2/3 cup grated Tillamook Special Reserve Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried mustard
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

 
From the exquisite cookbook, Cooking with the Wines of Oregon by Troy & Cheryl-Lynn Townsin

Serve this simple, tasty dish as a side or make a meal by using it as a topping for baked potatoes. You can substitute broccoflowers, a cross between broccoli and cauliflower, which looks like a green cauliflower with a texture more like broccoli.

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook for about 2 minutes before adding the broccoli. Cook together for about 5 minutes, until just tender. Drain and transfer to a deep ovenproof dish.

2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, sauteing for 1 minute. Add the flour and stir well for about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Gradually add the wine, stirring continuously. Add the cream, 1/3 cup of the cheese, paprika and dried mustard. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and you have a thick creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Pour the sauce evenly over the broccoli and cauliflower mixture, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling. Serve immediately.
