Инструкции
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large sauce pan, bring 2 qts of water to a boil. Add in broccoli and cauliflower. Cook for 3 min. Add in carrot and cook for 2 min. Drain vegetables in a colander. Place mix in a 2-qt baking dish. Stir in peas; set aside.
- To prepare the sauce, in a small sauce pan, heat oil over medium heat.
- Add in flour; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in lowfat milk and broth. Bring to a boil and cook, whisking frequently, for 3 min. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 c. of cheddar and the pepper.
- Pour sauce over vegetables; stir till coated. Sprinkle remaining cheddar over top. Bake till cheese is bubbling, about 5 min. Serve immediately.
- Short Cut: Use thawed frzn vegetables instead of fresh-there is no need to precook them.
- NOTES : A rich-tasting, low-fat cheese sauce gives these vegetables universal appeal.
- Health Check: Carrots are a rich souce of vitamin A; the cheese sauce is made from skim lowfat milk; cauliflower and broccoli add in iron.
- Cooking Tips: When buying cauliflower look for heavy, compact white or possibly cream-colored heads free of brown discoloration. Avoid heads with spreading flowerets.
- To cut cauliflower flowerets, trim the leaves and remove the stem close to the head. Slice off the flowerets from around the inner core.
- MY PERSONAL NOTES: I substituted mushrooms for the cauliflower and I omitted the peas and added extra carrots. Still tasted great!
