Cheesy Cauliflower & Onion Pie

Growing up I loved to eat –Cheese and Potato Pie and the more cheese the pie had the better. It's a wonderful comfort food for those; cold, rainy, winter nights where all you want to do is; cwtch up under a duvet, eat and watch TV. So what do you do when you want comfort food but all grains and starches are a no–no on your diet? Well, you improvise of course– and that’s exactly what I did today - and came up with this - Cheesy Cauliflower Pie -  and I must say I enjoyed every mouthful – I actually didn't want to finish it, it was just delicious, packed with flavour, and had lots of Extra Mature Cheese - which is the key ingredient here. 

Again this recipe is really simple to make - it is a bit time consuming faffing around with the cauliflower but I promise you it's worth it. 

Cheesy Cauliflower Pie

Looks delicious doesn't it? It is quite high carb if your on a super low carbohydrate diet, but you can always reduce the amount of Cauliflower you use. 

Yield - 1 Serving 

Ingredients 

• 360g - Cauliflower Florets
• 45g White Onion 
• Extra Mature Cheddar Cheese ( or any cheese of choice)
• 15g - Grassfed Butter
• 2-tbsp Almond Milk 
• 1 Garlic Clove 
• Parsley 
• Himalayan salt 
• Ground Pepper

Instructions 

• Boil the Cauliflower in a saucepan with the salt, when the cauliflower starts to boil add the chopped onion - do not stir otherwise you won't be able to fish out the onions. 
• When the Cauliflower and Onions have boiled, separate the Onions from the Cauliflower and drain. 
• Return the Cauliflower back to the heat and mash with a potato masher until the Cauliflower is fluffy and most of the water has gone.
• Add the butter and combine with the Cauliflower.
• Next add the garlic, pepper, parsley and more salt if you need it and then blend into a purée with the almond milk 
• Add back the onions and cheese to the Cauliflower, then place into an oven-proof dish and cook in the oven for 25 minutes on 200°c - if the top hasn't browned after this time then put under the grill for a few minutes. 

Serve Immediately and Enjoy.
