Ham-Baked Vegetables - Skinkgratinerade grönsaker

HAM-BAKED VEGETABLES

Skinkgratinerade grönsaker

Serves 2

7 oz cauliflower florets

7 oz broccoli florets

water

Sauce:

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1½ tablespoons flour

0.4 cup water from boiling the vegetables

0.4 cup regular milk

0.2 cup grated cheese

2.6 oz smoked ham, diced

salt, pepper

Preheat oven to 437F.

Place florets in a saucepan and add water enough to barely cover them. Add salt and boil until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour off but reserve the water. Flush them in cold water and drain.

Melt the fat for the sauce and stir in flour. Dilute with 0.4 cup of the water and milk, little by little. Boil the sauce while stirring for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese and ham. Melt the grated cheese in the sauce and flavor to taste with salt and pepper.

Place the vegetables in a greased, oven-proof dish. Pour the sauce over them and bake in the middle of the oven for about 20 minutes.

Enjoy!
