  1. Wash the cauliflower and cook in boiling salted water until tender.
  2. Puree three-quarters of the cauliflower and reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Break the remaining quarter of the cauliflower into small florets and reserve.
  3. Heat the butter in a large saucepan and cook the onion, stirring frequently until soft.
  4. Add the flour and cook for 5 minutes, stirring continuously.
  5. Whisk in the stock and bring to the boil. Keep on the boil for 5 minutes. Reduce temperature and add the reserved cauliflower liquid, milk, pureed cauliflower and parsley.
