Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 ounces butter
  • 6 ounces all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1 cauliflower
  • 8 ounces ground beef
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 shallot
  • 1 ounce butter
  • 1 ounce all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 ounces Leyden cheese grated
  • salt and pepper
  • parsley

Instructions

  • Start with making the dough. This pie will fit in an 8-inch spring form.
  • Add flour, butter, and salt in a bowl and until you have a mixture that resembles coarse meal with small sized butter pieces. Drizzle water over mixture, and mix until incorporated. Check after 3 tablespoons if dough holds together; if so, stop adding water, if not add the last tablespoon.Do not overwork dough or pastry will be tough.
  • Press the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Clean the cauliflower and cut it is small florets. Cook the cauliflower in water with salt for just 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, curry powder, finely chopped shallot and the egg.
  • Make the cheese sauce: melt the butter, add the flower and and stir until smooth. Cook roux over medium-low heat and stir constantly until desired color is reached (light caramel). Gradually add the milk and mix until you have a smooth sauce.
  • Add cheese and mix until melted. Add more milk if too thick. Flavor with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and roll out to a 10-inch circle. This should cover the bottom and the sides of the spring form.
  • Cover the bottom with the ground beef mixture. Divide the cauliflower on top of the meat and finish with the cheese sauce.
  • Cover the form with aluminum foil and place in a preheated oven of 400 degrees F.
  • After 45 minutes remove the aluminum foil and bake another 30 minutes until you have a dark brown top and a caramel crust.
  • Remove spring from, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
