What is your favourite comfort food?
When I’m feeling in need of a little calorie based comfort I regress to toddlerhood and find myself drawn to all the beige foods – mashed potato, thick white toast with lashings of butter, pasta and cheesy sauces – you know what I’m talking about. Small children really know what they are doing there.
Another of my favourites is cauliflower cheese, which has the added bonus of not being all about the carbs. I’ve put together a very simple recipe that proves that a lack of colour doesn’t have to mean a lack of taste and nutrition – it’s all the fun of wintery stodge but without the guilt.
Smoked haddock and cauliflower cheese with Total Greek yoghurt
You will need:
A cauliflower
2 smoked haddock fillets
Broccoli florets or peas (for just a splash of colour!)
100g of strong cheddar, grated (the stronger the cheese the less of it you need to use for the same flavour)
300g of Total Greek yoghurt
What to do:
Boil your cauliflower and other vegetables until cooked. Cauliflower florets can be pretty chunky so you may want to cut the pieces up quite small or smash them up a bit after cooking so you get a good coverage of yoghurt.
At the same time cook up your fish. Flake this into your vegetables and mix it altogether with the yoghurt and about two thirds of the cheese. Season to taste.
Transfer your mixture to an oven dish, sprinkle on the remaining cheese and bake at 180 for about 20-30 minutes until it looks golden.
Serve with garlic bread and a leafy green salad for extra bonus points.
