Cauliflower with Bechamel Sauce (Beshamel Soslu Karnibahar)

1 bunch of cauliflower, separated into florets
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
½ cup sweet peas (optional)
1 tsp salt to taste
A pinch of black pepper

1/3 cup mozzarella/cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)

Bechamel Sauce:
2 cups milk
2 tbsp flour
5-6 tbsp butter/margarine
1 egg, beaten
½ tsp salt to taste

Boil the vegetables in salty water till they are soft. Do not over boil them since we do not want them to be smashed. Then drain and transfer them to a Pyrex or baking dish.
Béchamel Sauce:

Place the butter in a pot and melt. Add the flour and sauté over low heat till its color change to yellow. Then, add milk and stir continuously to make Béchamel sauce smooth and even. If flour particles don’t dissolve use a blender. Add salt and cook for 3 minutes. Finally stir in the egg and sprinkle some black pepper if you like.

Pour the Béchamel sauce evenly on top of the vegetables and sprinkle cheese. Preheat the oven to 400F (200C) and bake until its surface turns to light golden brown (about 20-25 minutes).
ENJOY

½ tsp baking soda (optional)

The next day, cook them with the same water till beans get soft over low heat. You could add baking soda to have softer beans quicker. When they are soft, add ½ tbsp of salt.
In another pot, sauté chopped meat with oil till they are brown. Then add onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Stir in peppers and tomato paste. Add one cup of hot water and the remaining salt, and then simmer till the meat is soft. Transfer the cooked white beans into the pot. Simmer for 10 minutes over low heat.
Serve White Beans with Meat, with pilaf or over pilaf. Also cacik and pickled vegetables are good to go with this recipe.
