Mexican Cauliflower Cheese
Instructions
Prep:20minCook:35min
Cauliflower Cheese is a British classic usually served as a side dish for a Sunday roast, or on special occasions such as Christmas. It mainly consists of cauliflower florets that have been boiled and then covered in homemade cheese sauce that’s then baked in the oven to become one of the most comforting dishes there is.
For our cauliflower cheese recipe, we use Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste to make our cheese sauce taste slightly smoky and deliciously spicy. This, combined with the cheddar, makes a beautiful combination of flavours that takes regular cauliflower cheese to another level!
Cauliflower Cheese with Chipotle Paste is perfect when it’s served for special occasions like Christmas or New Year’s Eve, but could also work perfectly well as a side dish to any dinner party when you’re entertaining at home. For a different spin on this cauliflower recipe, but with equally delicious results, try substituting the Chipotle Paste with Gran Luchito Crunchy Salsa Macha for a slightly nuttier flavour in your cheese sauce.
This Mexican cauliflower pairs perfectly with our recipe for Roasted Chipotle Honey Ham and also our Mexican Roast Chicken.
