    Recipe

    Step 1

    Remove the green leaves from the cauliflower, then separate the white central parts with a knife. Rinse well without drying out.

    Step 2

    Add the white stems to a pot of boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Steam the cauliflower florets at the same time.

    Step 3

    After 5 minutes, add the green leaves and cook for a further 5 minutes.

    Step 4

    Drain and set aside. Continue cooking the cauliflower florets if necessary.

    Step 5

    Make a classic béchamel sauce.

    Step 6

    Blend the garlic, chives and shallots. Add to the béchamel sauce with a generous pinch of salt and the grated Emmental cheese.

    Step 7

    Arrange the cooked cauliflower florets, greens and stems in a glass casserole dish. Add the béchamel sauce and the remaining Emmental cheese. Leave to bake for a few minutes in the oven on the grill setting.
