Veg in cheese/cream sauce, not broccoli or cauli!

47 replies

Raera · 04/08/2021 18:04

I'm serving Mary Berry salmon with roast potatoes and want veg in a cheese or creamy sauce to go with the meal. One of my guests doesn't like broccoli, cauli, mushrooms or asparagus.
Any bright ideas please?

Leeks?

BeastOfBODMAS · 04/08/2021 18:05

Spinach or leeks?

TheGriffle · 04/08/2021 18:05

A mixture? Green beans, carrots and baby sweetcorn?

OrangeSharked · 04/08/2021 18:07

Leeks surely? Can't really put much else in a cheesy sauce

Intherightplace · 04/08/2021 18:08

Spinach

newmumwithquestions · 04/08/2021 18:09

Spinach, Leeks, sugarsnap peas and green beans are all good with cheese sauce but all need different cooking times so can you serve the sauce separately?

Carrots and leeks

Crockof · 04/08/2021 18:10

Ooh not carrots looks like sick

Leeks and cabbage?

lazylinguist · 04/08/2021 18:11

Definitely leeks - yum!

Freshapples · 04/08/2021 18:11

I would do leeks, spinach or peas, or a mixture of them, perhaps along with some courgettes / green beans / broad beans. Like a primavera sauce.

KittenKong · 04/08/2021 18:13

What have you got? Most things really. Yum!

Skiptheheartsandflowers · 04/08/2021 18:14

Leeks. Or spinach in that 'creamed greens' way.

KittenKong · 04/08/2021 18:14

I’ve just remembered I have cauli in the back of the fridge... and Delias cheese sauce is really easy peasy.

Popetthetreehugger · 04/08/2021 18:14

I’d say leeks …. But on the epic parking thread someone was having sprouts in cheese sauce 🤷‍♀️

BaronessOfTheNorth · 04/08/2021 18:14

Creamed cabbage is one of the tricks I sometimes pull out the bag and it's always everyone's favourite part of the meal!

bunnytheegghunter · 04/08/2021 18:15

I put carrots leeks and green beans in with my broccoli and cauliflower in cheese sauce it's lovely.

Hoppinggreen · 04/08/2021 18:16

Celeriac?

Stade197 · 04/08/2021 18:16

I love carrots, peas & green beans with cheese sauce

AlwaysLatte · 04/08/2021 18:16

Butter beans in a creamy parsley sauce!

AlmostSummer21 · 04/08/2021 18:16

Courgettes, carrots ( do not look like sick) & spinach on the side (unless you don't mind it looking a bit messy, then mix it in)

And get a new friend! Who doesn't like cauli /Brocolli?

AlwaysLatte · 04/08/2021 18:17

Sorry broad beans I mean!

Ozanj · 04/08/2021 18:18

Sweetcorn is usually good in a cheese sauce. If you want a bit of bite add mustard powder

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 04/08/2021 18:20

Leeks and runner beans 😋

And who doesn’t like broccoli?!

Crockof · 04/08/2021 18:24

Come on you can't unsee it now Grin

But your second point is very good advice.

Onions
Microwave them first in a bit of water to soften
So yummy
