Cheesy Broccoli and Dukkah Balls

Author: LydiaF

Ingredients

  • 1 large head broccoli cut into florets and steamed (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup dukkah
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • sunflower oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Prepare a rimmed baking tray with a generous amount of oil (enough to lightly coat the bottom)
  • After steaming the broccoli, add it to a food processor along with the garlic and dukkah. Pulse it a few times until it's finely chopped. It's okay if you see pieces of nuts from the dukkah. Work in batches if necessary.
  • Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the egg and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • The mix should hold its shape when formed into a ball. You can add a little more parmesan if it seems too wet or a teaspoon of water if it's too dry.
  • Portion the mix to form about a dozen or so balls.
  • Transfer to the baking tray and gently roll them around in the oil. Arrange the balls so they're not touching and flatten them slightly if desired.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until the balls are golden brown. Turn them over about halfway through to get an even color.
