Gluten Free Broccoli, Potato and Blue Cheese Sauce
"Surprisingly delicious. Great way to use up left over blue cheese"
Serves 4 for starters, 2 for main course | Prep Time 10 minutes | Cook Time 35 minutesWhy I Love This Recipe
A relative of mine had some spare blue cheese and gave it to me. I then looked for a recipe which included it as I find blue cheese a little to strong on its own. I found a variation of this recipe in "the time to eat" book by WeightWatchers. To be honest, I didn't expect it to taste nice, however it is delicious. Not very WeightWatchers though unless you stick to the portion sizes! (I didn't)
Just a word on mustard. Mustard seeds themselves don't contain gluten, however mustard preparations often include wheat. You have to look at the back of the jar/packet to check. In the EU this is easy as by law the main 12 allergens have to be in bold. Outside of the EU this may be a bit more difficult.
You can buy gluten free plain flour in most main supermarkets now.
