How to make Broccoli and Cauliflower Gratin:
Wash the vegetables and cut them into pieces of about the same size. This will cook the cauliflower and broccoli au gratin evenly.
Place a pot with water and a little salt on the fire and when it reaches a boil add the cauliflower and let it boil for 5 minutes. At that time add the broccoli and cook for another 5 minutes.
Tip: It is important to cook the cauliflower first because it is tougher than broccoli, so we guarantee that none of the vegetables go over the point.
Separately, prepare the gratin sauce for broccoli and cauliflower in the oven: mix the cream with a little grated cheese and cumin.
Tip: You can add other species or aromatic herbs of your choice.
When the broccoli and cauliflower are cooked but al dente, turn off the heat, drain the water from the pot, and place them on a baking sheet. Add the sauce, mix carefully and cover with the remaining grated cheese.
Take the cauliflower and broccoli to the oven at 200ºC and leave them for 10-15 minutes or until they are golden. You now have your broccoli and cauliflower au gratin dish ready to serve as a starter or as a side dish for others.
