Ingredients

  • 350g Cauliflower

  • 105g Risoni

  • 40g butter

  • 40g plain flour

  • 250ml milk

  • 80g grated cheese

  • 20g grated parmesan

  • 70g panko breadcrumbs

  • Chopped parsley, to serve

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

  • Brussels Sprout Ketchup

Directions

Blanch the Cauliflower
1

Boil cauliflower in a large pot for about 5 minutes until just tender. Transfer to a sieve to drain and cool before roughly chopping.

Cook the Risoni
2

In the same pot, cook the risoni for 8 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water until cooled. Set aside.

Make the Cheese Sauce
3

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Gradually whisk in milk until the mixture is smooth and thickened, then bring to a boil for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add cheeses, and stir until melted. Mix in the cauliflower and risoni, then season.

Form and Coat Balls
4

Preheat oven to 200°C. Form mixture into small balls and coat each in breadcrumbs. Place in muffin tins before baking.

Bake and Serve
5

Place in the heated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden. Allow to cool slightly before garnishing with parsley and dipping in Brussels Sprout Ketchup.

Recipe Note

Add a sprinkle of Parmesan over your bites for an extra cheesy crunch!
