Cauliflower and broccoli with creamy béchamel sauce

Method

1. Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the cauliflower and broccoli for 6-7 minutes until tender.

2. Meanwhile, put a non-stick saucepan or milk pan over a medium heat on the hob and melt the butter. Gradually add the flour to make the base of the sauce. Allow to cook gently for 5 minutes.

3. Add the milk to the pan, bit by bit, and stir it in thoroughly.

4. Add the Parmesan and the cheddar, and season to taste. Stir thoroughly.

5. Drain the cauliflower and broccoli and place it in a serving dish. Ladle the sauce over the vegetables and serve.
