40g unsalted butter 100g soft white breadcrumbs 1 onion, finely chopped 3 bay leaves 50g plain flour 500ml whole milk 2tsp wholegrain mustard 100g Cheddar cheese, grated

1 Heat the oven to 180C/gas 4. Bring a pan of salted water to a boil and add the cauliflower. Boil for 3 mins, add the kale and cook for 2 mins.

2 In a pan, melt the butter; use a little to coat the dish. Press breadcrumbs against the base and sides. Arrange the cauliflower and kale on top.

3 Add the onion and bay leaves to the pan with the remaining butter and cook over low heat until the onion is soft.

4 Off the heat, whisk in the flour, a quarter of the milk and 1tsp sea salt. Add the rest of the milk and the mustard. Return to the heat and, when it starts bubbling, mix until thick, about 2 mins.

5 Remove the bay leaves from the milk then add in the cheese. Pour the sauce over the cauliflower and kale. Cook in the oven for 20 mins, until the top is golden.
