1 t. Himalayan pink salt to taste

1 t. chopped dill

Preheat oven to 425.  Toss cauliflower with 1 T. melted ghee and roast until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel onion and apple and grate finely.  Brown in ghee over med-high heat.

Reduce heat to medium, add flour and stir briskly for 2-3 minutes.  Reduce heat to med-low and slowly add milk, whisking to prevent lumps.  Stir until thickened.
