How to make cauliflower with bechamel
Wash the cauliflower and then cut it in bunch-form, drain it well in order for it to be vapor-cooked.
To cook it you can use a microwave oven and put the cut cauliflower in a container with a lid which is appropriate to be used in a microwave and then microwave it for 10 minutes at maximum power. You can also put it in a pot with boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes.
After that time, drain it well, and spread it around an ovenproof container.
Pour the bechamel sauce over the whole surface of the cauliflower until it is completely covered by the sauce, then add the finely-chopped parsley and the grated cheese.
Put it on the middle shelf of an oven preheated to 200º C, with heat on the top and the fan on the bottom. Let it bake for 10 or 15 minutes.
Take it out of the oven and serve hot.
