Hello Fresh! Cauliflower Rice & Cheese

DSC_0194

I cooked another meal from Hello Fresh! Unfortunately it had been a bit too long so the cauliflower went bad so I had to replace it with a frozen bag! Oops!

It provided macaroni and flour to go into it so I had to replace it with brown rice and gluten free flour. Silly gluten.

1   Pre-heat the oven to 400′ and start making the rice (or pasta)

2   Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Thinly slice the scallions, keeping the greens and whites separate

3   Place the cauliflower on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Place the baking sheet in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and tender.

5   Make the cheese sauce: heat 2 Tablespoons butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the scallion whites to the pan and cook, tossing, for 1-2 minutes until softened. Add the flour into the pan and cook, whisking constantly, for 1-2 minutes. Very slowly whisk the milk into the pan a little bit at a time until fully combined. Add the stock concentrate to the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer for 1-2 minutes, until thickened.  I had to add some more milk because the gluten free flour is pretty dense. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese. Season with salt and pepper

The box also came with arugula and balsamic vinegar. I don’t consider that a “salad” so I added some sliced tomatoes to at least spruce it up a bit
