Ingredients List
- 3 cups cauliflower florets (roughly 1 head of cauliflower)
- 3 cups cooked quinoa and/or brown rice (see notes)
- 3/4 cups of a “dry ingredient” like oat flour, almond meal, breadcrumbs, etc.
- 4 eggs
- 1 heaping tablespoon spices (chili powder, paprika, and/or cumin will work)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a frying pan with a thin coating
Directions
Cauliflower: Cook the cauliflower florets in a pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes, till fork-tender. Drain well.
Mix: Pulse the quinoa and cauliflower through a food processor until semi-smooth. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl and combine with all other ingredients. Stir until everything is incorporated. Roll into small balls (about one heaping tablespoon per ball was best for me).
Cook: Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat – add the balls and cook for a few minutes on each side – they will need to be gently turned every so often to get browned all the way around. Serve with yummy sauces, salads, bowls, or freeze for later!
