This vegetable casserole is perfect for a family dinner or holiday meal, or take it along to a potluck meal.


INGREDIENTS:


4 cups broccoli flowerets


4 cups cauliflower flowerets


1 large red bell pepper, chopped


1 large onion, chopped


2 teaspoons salt


.


Sauce:


3 tablespoons butter


3 tablespoons flour


1 1/2 cups milk


1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste


1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, plus more for topping, if desired


French fried onion crumbs for topping


PREPARATION:


Heat oven to 350掳. Lightly butter a 7-x11-inch baking dish.


In a large saucepan combine the broccoli and cauliflower with peppers and onion; cover with water and add the 2 teaspoons of salt.


Bring to a boil; cover and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.


Meanwhile, in another saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add flour and stir until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring until thickened. Stir in the pepper and 1 cup cheese. Arrange the broccoli and cauliflower mixture in the prepared baking dish. Pour sauce evenly over the vegetables. Top with French fried onions. Bake for about 30 minutes, until browned and bubbly. Sprinkle with more cheese, if desired, and cook for 5 minutes longer.


Serves 4 to 6.

Aubergine (Egg Plant)


Two Courgettes (Zucchini)


Mushrooms

Chopped garlic or garlic puree





Cheese to sprinkle.





Pan fry the onions, followed by the aubergine, courgette, then mushroom. Once the veg are starting to brown, add the tomotoes and cook until all is tender.
