ingredients
- 4 ounces carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 1⁄2 ounces cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 ounce unsalted butter
- 7 ounces ripe tomatoes
- 8 basil leaves, shredded
- 2 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
directions
- Put the carrots in a small saucepan, cover with boiling water and simmer, covered with a lid, for 10 minutes. Alternatively steam the carrots for 10 minutes or until tender.
- Whilst the carrots are cooking, prick the skins of the tomatoes and pour over boiling water and leave for 30 seconds.
- Draining and rinse with cold water - the skins will peel away with ease.
- Add the cauliflower to the carrots and cook covered for a further 7-8 minutes, adding extra water if necessary.
- In another pan, melt the butter, add the tomatoes and saute until mushy. Stir in the basil and cheese until melted.

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
