About

This dish a bit like cauliflower cheese, except you add yoghurt instead of cheese. I’d never heard of adding yoghurt to béchamel before, and I was a little sceptical, but it works. The sauce doesn’t have an obviously yoghurty taste, but rather a fresh, light flavour that works beautifully with this particular vegetable. I think the bacon is optional, though, and I might even add a little Parmesan next time I make it. And there will be a next time, because it's friggin' delicious.
