Ingredients
- 600 g Cauliflower
- 2 pc Eggs
- 80 g Parmesan, freshly grated
- 60 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Sweet paprika powder
- 1 bunch Parsley, flat-leaf
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- Salt
- Black pepper, freshly ground
- 200 g Plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp Medium-hot mustard
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C, top and bottom heat, and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Trim the cauliflower, divide it into small florets and cook them in a pot of salted water for about 4 minutes until al dente, then drain and let them drain well.
- Pat the cauliflower florets dry with a kitchen towel and chop them coarsely so they don't get too wet when shaping.
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl and mix with Parmesan, breadcrumbs, sweet paprika powder, the chopped parsley, salt and pepper.
- Fold the cauliflower into the mixture and, with lightly dampened hands, shape about 24 small balls.
- Place the balls on the baking tray, brush or drizzle them with olive oil and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
- For the dip, stir the plain yogurt with mustard, honey, lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth and chill.
- Serve the bites warm or cooled with the dip.
