Lunch Saturday 9 December - Veggie Platter with Cheese Sauce


Felt in serious need of something healthy, yet comforting, so I opted for a steamed veggie plate with a bit of cheese sauce.

I had 200g asparagus, steamed, 200g Brussels sprouts, steamed, 2 baby cauliflowers, steamed and some leftover roasted pumpkin from the other night (about 1/4 of a pumpkin).

Simple Cheese Sauce
200ml semi-skimmed organic milk
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon powder (optional)
1/2 teaspoon Colman's dried mustard powder
1 teaspoons Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce
50g half fat cheddar cheese

Mix together the milk, cornflour, bouillon, mustard and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until thickened, about 5-10 minutes. Add the cheese and stir over low heat until the cheese is melted & the sauce is smooth .
