Baked Stuffed Cauliflower.

One large par-boiled cauliflower, 1 1/2 cups white sauce, 1 teaspoon chopped chives, 1/2 cup stale breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon chopped capers, 1/2 cup grated cheese, 6ozs. mushrooms—if in season.

Boil the cauliflower in the usual way but drain it before it is quite tender. Place it in a deep round buttered baking dish. Remove centre stalk and a little of the stems. Peel and chop the mushrooms. Add bread-crumbs. Mix with half of the white sauce. Stir in capers and chives. Stuff hollow in cauliflower with the mixture. Cover with remainder of the sauce. Sprinkle thickly with the cheese. Bake in moderate oven for about 20 minutes—until golden brown on top.
