Ingredients
- Cauliflower: 1 small cauliflower (600g), trimmed and finely chopped
- Garlic Clove: 1 garlic clove, crushed
- Spring Onions: 4 spring onions, finely sliced
- Red Chilli: 1 red chilli, deseeded and chopped
- Parmesan: 75g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), grated
- Lemon: 1 lemon, zested (save the juice for the sauce)
- Breadcrumbs: 150g fresh brown breadcrumbs, toasted
- Plain Flour: 4 tbsp plain flour
- Egg: 1 egg, beaten
- Olive Oil: olive oil spray, for baking
- Rocket: rocket salad, to serve
- Anchovy: 1 anchovy, rinsed and finely chopped
- Mayonnaise: 3 tbsp low-fat mayonnaise
- Greek Yogurt: 200g Greek yogurt
- Flat Leaf Parsley: 1/2 small pack flat-leaf parsley
- Worcestershire Sauce: 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Lemon Juice: lemon juice (from above)
Directions
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Boil the cauliflower in salted water for 5 mins until soft. Drain, put back in the pan to steam off the excess water, then tip into a bowl to cool. Add the garlic, spring onions, chilli, parmesan, lemon zest, 50g of the toasted breadcrumbs, the flour, egg, and some seasoning. Shape into 16 cakes, then roll in the remaining breadcrumbs. Put on a plate and chill for at least 1 hr, or overnight, before cooking.
- To make the sauce, put all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Add some seasoning and blend until smooth. Pour into a serving bowl and set aside. Can be made a day ahead.
- Liberally spray a large baking sheet with the oil. Put the cauliflower cakes on top and spray well again. Bake for 25 mins until golden and crisp. Serve with the sauce and some rocket salad.
