Broccoli and cauliflower with a creamy sauce

Serves 6

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

Ingredients:

• 200 g broccoli
• 200 g cauliflower
• ¼ cup (60 ml) grated
• Cheddar cheese, preferably reduced fat
• 175 ml plain low-fat yogurt
• ½ cup (125 ml) plain  smooth low-fat cottage cheese
• ½ tsp (2,5 ml) ground nutmeg or paprika
• 4 tsp (20 ml) chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tsp (5 ml) prepared mustard (optional)
• ½ tsp (2,5 ml) salt
• pinch paprika or periperi

Process:

1. Cut broccoli and cauliflower into smaller pieces.
2. Place in a pot with 1-2 cm of water and simmer until tender, but still crunchy. Drain well.
3. Mix cheese, yogurt, 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.
