- Cook the cauliflower until just soft. Drain well (ideally leave to drain for 30 minutes, you really want to get all the moisture out).
- Mash the cauliflower and mix with the grated hard cheese and season to taste. If the mixture is still wet, squeeze out any excess water.
- Take about a heaped teaspoon of the mixture and form into a ball. Roll in the Parmesan to coat it. Continue with the remainder. This should form about 16 tots.
- Place on a greased tray and bake at 200 C / Gas 6 for 10 to 12 minutes until crispy. Enjoy!
Tip
You can vary the type of hard cheese and seasoning for variety and to match your meal. For example use a hot cheese with chillies, or add chilli powder to the Parmesan to add a kick to your meal. Try adding cumin or curry powder to the cauliflower, to accompany an Indian meal. Or add feta and oregano or basil for a Mediterranean flavour. The combinations are endless!
