Cauliflower, Cheese and Chorizo Balls

 

Ingredients:-

½ a head of Cauliflower, parboiled
100 g of Grated Cheese of choice. We used Cheddar
1/ of a stick of Chorizo, chopped into very small cubes
A pinch each of Parsley, Onion Salt and Garlic Salt
An Egg, beaten
Breadcrumbs (Gluten free for us)
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Drain and mash the Cauliflower and allow to cool.
(2) In a bowl mix all the other ingredients with the Cauliflower excluding the Egg and Breadcrumbs.
(3) Heat a fryer to 160c.
(4) Form the mixture into balls about the size of a Golf Ball.
(5) Coat in Egg and then roll in Breadcrumbs.
(6) Fry in small batches, turning gently until golden brown. Avoid frying for too long or your Cheese will escape!
(7) Drain on kitchen paper and serve.

We had these as a side, but realistically with a bit of Salad and Coleslaw they would make a perfectly good lite meal.

Air Fryer Brunch method

Clearly we didn’t go to the trouble of frying the Eggs or heating the Baked Beans in the Air Fryer. There’s not a lot of point trying to reinvent the wheel. But everything else was done in the Air Fryer.

Air fryer cooking is all about timing. Cook the items which need the longest time first, remove to rest and then reheat everything before serving.

So for this brunch, we went with something like this:-

Steps:-

(1) Take 4 frozen Potato Waffles from the freezer.
(2) Slice Cheese to cover the top.
(3) Cut Bacon (Home cured in our case) to cover the Waffles and cook in the Air Fryer.
(4) Remove the Bacon and allow to cool.
(5) Place the Sausages in the Air Fryer and cook until browned.
(6) Remove the Sausage and set aside.
(7) On the Waffles add the cooked Bacon and then the Cheese and a good dribble of Henderson’s Relish.
(8) Place these in the Air Fryer an cook until the Cheese has melted and bubbled.
(9) Fry your Eggs and heat your Baked Beans in the more conventional way!!!! (Remember the reinventing the wheel gig?!)
(10) In the salted Oil which has accumulated in the bottom tray fry a couple on slices of Bread. (Gluten free in our case).
(11) Add the Mushrooms to the same lower tray.
(12) When the Mushrooms are cooked return everything to the Air Fryer to heat.
(13) Serve with your fried Eggs and Beans.

This was a really tasty meal. The Waffles with Bacon and melted Cheese and Fried Bread were certainly the star of the show here…...
