Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large casserole dish.
Place cauliflower in a microwave-safe glass dish with 1/4 cup water. Microwave on high until tender, 11 to 14 minutes. Drain.
Heat butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, shallots, and celery in the melted butter until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a separate dish using a slotted spoon.
Add beef and lamb to the pan. Season with salt and increase heat to high. Cook and stir meat until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully pour in cognac and ignite with a wand lighter. Let flames extinguish on their own, immediately add wine. Reduce heat to low and stir, scraping browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until sauce is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
Add veal stock, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper to the pan. Add vegetables back in. Cook and stir until flavors start to combine, about 5 minutes. Place mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
Use a ricer or cheesecloth to squeeze out most of the liquid from the cauliflower. Place cauliflower, heavy cream, sour cream, and white pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth. Spread mixture on top of the meat in the casserole dish. Sprinkle Gruyere cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 25 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
