Broccoli,Mushroom and Corn Bake
It has been a very uneventful weekend.Chennai didn't look like Chennai at all,continuous rains,the definitive chill in the air and...the darkness.Perfect climate for a hot cup of tea and a plate full of snack items like deep fried Bajji and Bonda.We just sat with the windows open,on the bean bags reading all day and solving sudoku and crosswords.I just did not have the mood to cook since the thought of even getting up from the couch was unappealing!! For lunch,Ajay wanted to have something simple and I managed with whatever leftovers I had plus a bowl of salad and then again back to the lazy routine.By evening,we were famished and wanted to have something which didn't take much trouble to make but delicious nevertheless.One-bowl dinners are perfect for that and I chose this cheesy vegetable bake which perfectly satisfied our craving. I've not been very successful with making white sauce but after following this method,I've been consistently getting good results.I chose the recipe from one of my favorite blogs and as with all her recipes,this one too is a no-fail recipe!!I did add more vegetables than the ones named but thought this name was perfect!! Broccoli,Mushroom and Corn Bake [Plus Cauliflower,Carrot and Baby corn] Recipe minimally adapted from Raaga Ingredients Broccoli florets - 1/2 cup Cauliflower florets - 1/2 cup Sweet corn - 1/4 cup Baby corn - 1/4 cup,chopped Carrot - 1,chopped Mushroom - 4-5,sliced Butter - 1 tbsp Flour - 1 tbsp Milk - 2-3 cups Cheese - 4-5 tbsp,grated[I used Mozarella] Oregano - 1 tsp Salt and pepper to taste Bread crumbs - 2 tbsp Butter to grease the pans Method Cook the vegetables[except mushroom] till soft-we like it a bit crunchy,so cook according to your preference. In a saucepan,add the butter and oregano and stir well. Mix in the sliced mushrooms and saute for a few seconds. Add the flour and stir well,without browning the flour-simmer and add the milk stirring continuously till the mixture comes to a boil and the sauce starts to thicken. This method ensures that no lumps are formed while adding the milk. Add half of the grated cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the cooked vegetables and stir well so that the sauce coats the vegetables evenly. Grease a baking dish with butter and pour in the vegetables-white sauce mix. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese and breadcrumbs over it. Bake in a preheated oven at 200C for 10 minutes. Serve hot with Garlic bread [ used store bought] Chennai at 2 pm - Adyar Thiru-vi-ka bridge ![]() related searches : Broccoli
