What the hell do you serve with cauliflower cheese?

[IShitChristmasGlitter]

Am making cauliflower cheese for tea tomorrow now what do you normally serve with it?

I know alot of people have it as a side dish but i want it more of a main? Am thinking maybe sliced gammon? then am stuck what else?

What do you serve with or what would you?

DH likes it with sausages and peas. I like it with peas and quorn cocktail sausages.
Ds and DD just like it with peas.

Baked beans. We're not posh here

Smoked fish

The hairy bikers have a recipe serving it with homemade chicken kiev
which is very rich but delicious

I would never ever serve it as a main dish, to me it is 100% a side dish.

I love it with rich, red wine beef stew with a baked potato

Or with roast chicken dinner

or roast beef

Or gammon

Cauli can come across as quite bitter when you are young, so sweetcorn or carrot would go with it, IMHO. I'd throw in some chips with what you suggested, OP. Or wedges.
Not baked beans, though.

Green salad with a bit of crunch from some nuts and/or celery.

I sometimes put a bit of cooked macaroni in the cauli cheese too...

Bacon,or gammon,and crusty bread. Yum!

We have it as a main dish....served with chips....we don’t have it often but yummy !

So, i’ll be doing a ham & cauli cheese this week then. Thanks MN

Green veg + ham
Or
green salad + gammon

Then you get protein, carbs & fibre/vits

Making me hungry!

We have it with grilled bacon and baked provencale tomatoes (halved with garlicky herby oily breadcrumbs on top. The sharpness of the tomatoes and the salty bacon go really well with the creamy cauliflower cheese.

On its own with some nice bread or with roast ham / lamb chops & baked potatoes.

Roasties or garlic cubes, grilled tomatoes and grilled asparagus or garlic mushrooms.

I do cauliflower and broccoli cheese. Sometimes I add bacon, sausage, leftover chicken, leftover pulled pork, chopped up hot dog sausages (nice if you also add smoked paprika), sweetcorn, peas, whatever I've got lingering really.

Peas and a crispy skinned jacket potato and lots of salt & pepper.

Ham and mash
Sausages and mash
You get the idea

Yum. Gammon and some vegetables maybe

Bacon and broccoli

Or along with roast dinner.

Pigs in blankets. Mmmmmm.....
