1. Add 700ml of water into the pressure cooker pot. Place the whole head of cauliflower into the basket and rest on the trivet in the pressure cooker. Lock the lid and once it comes up to pressure cook for 5 minutes.

2. Preheat the grill element in the oven to 210°C.

3. While the cauliflower is cooking make the béchamel, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add the flour and stir continuously for a minute with a wooden spoon. Pour in a quarter of the milk, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Stir in the rest of the milk and bring to the boil whisking until thickened. Remove from the heat and season with the salt and pepper and add the mustard, lemon zest and cheeses, reserving a small handful of parmesan.

5. Place under the grill for 5 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
