Vegan Cauliflower And Broccoli Bake Recipes

CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a medium saucepan with enough water to cover, boil cauliflower and broccoli until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, and transfer to a medium baking dish.
• In a separate medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter, and stir in flour. Gradually whisk in milk, and increase heat to medium. As the mixture thickens, whisk in English mustard, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Continue whisking until a thick sauce has formed, being careful not to allow the mixture to boil. Sprinkle in 2/3 of the cheese, and stir until melted.
• Pour sauce over broccoli and cauliflower. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, until bubbly and lightly brown. Sprinkle with remaining cheese during the final 10 minutes of cooking.

CHEESY VEGAN CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° F (200° C). Lightly grease a 3-quart casserole dish and set aside.
• Combine the melted butter, breadcrumbs and a pinch of granulated garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
• To soak cashews, boil water in a small pot and remove from heat. Add cashews and cover for 15-20 minutes, until softened (*see note).
• While the cashews are soaking, you can steam the cauliflower. Place about 1 " of water into a med/large pot that will fit your steamer basket. Place your basket on the bottom and cover pot with a lid. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn heat to med-low to maintain a low boil and place cauliflower florets into the basket. Cover and steam for 7-10 minutes, until just tender. Uncover and remove from heat.
• Drain and rinse cashews (discard soaking water). Now place all cheese sauce ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend until cashews have completely broken down and the sauce is smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
• Pour cheese sauce into a medium skillet/pot over medium heat (I used the same pot for steaming the cauliflower). Cook for 4-5 minutes until it thickens up a lot and becomes slightly stretchy. Stir often to prevent burning. If sauce is too thick for your taste, you can add a little soy milk or broth to thin it out. Taste for seasoning, and add more if needed.
• Pour 1/2 the cheese sauce on the bottom of the greased casserole dish. Now add the cauliflower on top in one layer. Pour the remaining cheese sauce on top of the cauliflower. Now sprinkle with prepared breadcrumbs and cover with foil. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is hot and bubbly. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until breadcrumbs are light golden brown. Remove from oven. *Sprinkle with optional fresh-cut parsley and crushed red pepper flakes. Enjoy!

VEGAN CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI BAKE

Steps:

• Parboil the broccoli and about a third of the cauliflower for 5 minutes, so they still have some bite. Drain and set aside.
• Boil the rest of the cauliflower (can do this at the same time and just remove the veg for step 1 first) until very soft, 10 minutes.
• Place the cauliflower in a blender and add the milk gradually, until you have the desired texture. 300 ml will give a thick puree consistency when baked. Add the flavourings and any other herbs or spices you would like.
• Stir through the veg from step 1 and transfer to a dish. Place the thinly sliced tomatoes and seeds on top, and bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes at 200C.
