Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams Cauliflower
  • 250 grams broccoli
  • 150 grams Pulled Pork Get the recipe here
  • 100 ml Heavy Cream/Double Cream
  • 100 grams Cheese Use your favourite, I used half cheddar and half mozzarella
  • 30 grams Red onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Tsp White Pepper
  • 1/2 Tsp Nutmeg Powder
  • Parsley for garnish
  • 100 ml Water
  • 2 Tbsp Pork Fat/Lard for cooking You can alternatively use butter, ghee or olive oil
  • 20 grams Cream Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Cut, wash and separate the cauliflower and broccoli into florets. Set aside 250grams of each for this recipe.
  • Microwave the cauliflower for 5 minutes and set aside.
  • Heat the pork fat in a frying pan and add in the onions and garlic and once they start to sizzle add in the black pepper, white pepper, nutmeg and salt.
  • Cook the onions and garlic along with the spices on a lowish heat till they start to turn a nice rich brown colour.
  • Deglaze the pan with the water and give it all a good mix.
  • Now add the cream cheese and grate in 50grams of the cheddar/mozzarella cheese that you are using and mix well. The cheese should melt and emulsify to form a sauce. Reduce this down till it's at a syrup like consistency.
  • Add in the heavy whipping cream and mix everything well. Cook further till it's at a consistency you like. I look for a rich but still fluid kind of sauce. Once done, turn off the stove and set aside.
  • Add the raw broccoli in the bowl with the microwaved cauliflower and also add in the pulled pork. Give it all a good mix.
  • Pour over the sauce and give it a final good mix.
  • Pour the mixture into a cast iron pan or any oven proof dish. Grate the remaining cheese over it.
  • Bake in a pre heated oven at 220C for about 15-20 minutes till the broccoli is tender and the cheese on top is nice and golden brown.
  • Remove and garnish with parsley
  • Serve!
