Ingredients:

500g swede, peeled and cut into 8mm chips

30 ml rapeseed, sunflower or cornola oil

Black pepper and flaked finger salt

1 cauliflower divided into individual florets

4-5 dl thick cream (plant based will do)

35g blue cheese (leave out for vegan version)

(salt and) pepper

Method:

Pre-heat the oven 180°C

Toss the swede chips in the oil and season well with pepper and salt. Spread out on a baking tray lined with parchment.

Bake for 20 mins. or until golden.

Cauliflower puré

Place the cauliflower florets in a saucepan and half cover with cream. Simmer, with a lid on for 10 mins, or until soft.

Remove the cauliflower using a slotted spoon and palce in a container suitable for stick blending (a food processor will also work). Add the blue chese and blend to a fine puré. Sprinkle with a few grinds of pepper and add salt if required - to taste.

(Reserve the cream for cauliflower and broccoli soup - see blog).
