Cauliflower croquettes and flax seeds

Ingredients for 4 people

• 500 g of cauliflower florets
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons of flax seeds
• Breadcrumbs
• Salt

Preparation

• Reduce the cauliflower in florets, first removing the outer leaves and then cutting the individual florets near the central core;
• Cook the cauliflower in plenty of boiling salted water for 10 minutes. Pay attention to the cooking times, if too long they will deprive the cauliflower of its nutritive properties;
• Once cooked, blend the cauliflower by adding a spoonful of cooking water if at the beginning it should be too compact;
• Knead the cauliflower puree with the egg and flax seeds. Add salt;
• Finally, add the breadcrumbs whose function is to dry the dough, then incorporate enough to make the mixture dry enough (even if the dough will always remain soft and sticky);
• Form the balls with the dough and then mash them lightly in such a way as to form a croquette;
• Bake at 200 degrees for 10 minutes.
