Ingredients

  • 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • ½ chorizo ring (about 100g/4oz), roughly chopped
  • 25g butter
  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 500ml milk
  • 140g Gruyère, grated
  • 500g cod loin, chopped into large chunks
  • 50g breadcrumbs
  • ½ small pack parsley, finely chopped

Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and blanch the cauliflower for 3-4 mins until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan and cook the chorizo for a couple of mins to brown, then remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving the oil behind. Melt the butter in the pan, then add the flour to make a roux. Pour in the milk gradually, whisking constantly, until smooth. Add the Gruyère, stir until melted, then season.

  3. Put the cauliflower in a baking dish (or divide between individual dishes) with the chorizo and cod. Spoon over the cheese sauce and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and parsley. Bake for 30-40 mins until the top is golden.
