Such an easy and adaptable recipe, to whatever veggies are in season, would make a filling meal with Wholemeal rolls.

If you are unable to get fresh cauliflower you can use frozen, the same with brocolli .
At the processing plant they are snap frozen. Often the “fresh” vegetables have been in coolrooms for weeks / months

The vegetables I will defintely put in this are cauliflower, pumpkin, spinach, and mushrooms which would go into the vegetable pot last as they cook so quickly . They are all great with cheese sauce.
