Vegetable Bake

This is one of the recipes i found on another blog, i have lost the link to it. This is a modified version of the same according to our tastes.

Serves : 3-4 people

Ingredients:

Carrots - 2 big
Beans - 1/4 kilo
Brocolli - 1 big
Cauliflower - 1 big
Peas - 150 grams
Mushrooms - 200 grams
Red/Green Peppers - 2 big
Onion - 1 Big
Mozzarella Cheese - grated according to taste and preference
Oil - 2 tsps

White Sauce Ingredients:

Milk - 2 cups
Pepper - to taste
salt - to taste
Plain Flour - 2 big spoonful
Butter/Olive oil - 2 tsps

Method of Preparation:

Chop all veggies, steam all veggies with salt except onions, Green/Red Peppers, Mushrooms. Keep it aside. Now to prepare the white sauce, mix the plain flour with milk with no lumps and then take a pot and heat some butter, add milk mixture and boil for a few mins, then add salt and pepper. Boil until the sauce thickens.

Now take some oil in a pan and saute the onions, peppers and mushrooms until soft.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees centigrade, grease the baking tray with butter/olive oil and place the steamed veggies, layer it with half the sauce, now place all the sauteed veggies and layer it with the remaining sauce. Finally top it with as much cheese as you like and leave it in the oven for about 15 mins or until the cheese melts. Now that's a yummy bake.

This is a favourite in our home since my hubby loves it and it is nutritious for my son since it has all veggies with cheese and of course my fav since its a quickie and makes my life easy!

Hope you enjoy this dish. Let me know if any of try this.

P.S. - For people who would like some chicken, you could add some pre-cooked chicken to this and adjust the quantity of veggies accordingly.
