This is a lighter version of the well-known cauliflower cheese. By using yoghurt instead of a rich cheese sauce, broccoli and cauliflower is still a delicious side dish.

200 g cauliflower
¼ cup (60 ml) grated cheddar cheese
175 ml plain low-fat yoghurt
½ cup (125 ml) plain smooth low-fat cottage cheese

4 tsp (20 ml) chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp (5 ml) prepared mustard (optional)
½ tsp (2,5 ml) salt
pinch paprika or peri-peri
Method

3. Mix cheese, yoghurt, cottage cheese, nutmeg, parsley, mustard and salt.
4. Pour some of this sauce over the veggies. Sprinkle with paprika and serve with the rest of the sauce.
5. Serve hot or at room temperature as a side dish with meat or chicken.

Tip
