it's all about the vegies...

I am just loving all the winter vegetables this year...
Being a devout carnivore, married to a butcher and us owning a butcher shop, I don't normally serve meatless meals, but lately I think the bod beaut is trying to tell me something as I have been drooling over quiches, frittatas and potato bakes....

tonight was no exception...
We started with a super helping of leftover soup (see last night's blog)
followed by: Winter veg in white sauce




Winter Veg in White Sauce

3 cups sliced or chopped veg
 ( I had zucchini, cauliflower and carrots in the crisper)
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp plain flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup grated tasty cheese

1.Steam or boil vegies until just tender, drain and place into an ovenproof dish
2. melt butter in a small saucepan
3. Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon for 1 minute
4. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly until sauce thickens and is almost boiling
5. Pour sauce over vegies and top with grated cheese
6. Bake 15-20 minutes at 190c

Really easy and so tasty.

Tips:
  • Use whatever vegies you have on hand. Even frozen peas, beans, carrots and corn...
  • sprinkle a little cayenne pepper over the top
  • mix grated parmesan in with the grated cheese for more cheesy flavour
  • add some cracked pepper to the sauce
