Vegetarian meatballs

Makes: 50+ pieces :     Preparation:  15 mins  Cook: 20 mins

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups cauliflower florets (roughly 1 head of cauliflower)
• 3 cups cooked quinoa and/or brown rice (see notes)
• ¾ cup of a "dry ingredient" like oat flour, almond meal, breadcrumbs, etc.  (See note.)
• 4 eggs
• 1 heaped tablespoon spices (chili powder, paprika, and/or cumin work well)
• 2 teaspoons salt
• enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a frying pan with a thin coating

• 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 of about one heaped tablespoon per ball .
• 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 or freeze for later.  We served them with a korma curry sauce.

Note:  Oat flour is just oatmeal blitzed in a food processor .
