Replace the leeks with cauliflower and top with a mix of Kerrymaid Grated (White or Coloured) and Recipere natural breadcrumbs for a great accompaniment to roast beef.

Healthy Hint

Added salt is not recommended but if used keep to a minimum. If using oil use unsaturated (olive or sunflower) and reduce the quantity used where possible. This helps to provide a nutritional balanced dish.
