Below you can see what ingredients you need and the steps to follow to make this original and nutritious starter.Ingredients
default
- 300 gr. cauliflower
- 100 gr. cashew parmesan
- 1/2 onion
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper (ground)
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds (ground)
- 3 tablespoons water
Preparation
Step 1
Wash the cauliflower, mince it with the mincer and steam it for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the flax seeds with the water in a bowl and set aside.
Step 2
When the cauliflower is cooked, remove from the heat and transfer it to a large bowl. Chop the onion, add it to the bowl where the cauliflower is, add the rest of the ingredients and mix well until all the ingredients are integrated.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 200ºC and, meanwhile, form the tater tots. To do this, take portions of dough with the help of a spoon, form cylinders of about 3 cm. long by 1.5 cm. wide and, as they are being formed, place them in a baking dish coated with oil or on a baking tray covered with baking paper. When all the tater tots are formed, put the baking dish or baking tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 4
After this time, turn them over with the help of two teaspoons so that they cook on the other side and bake for 10 more minutes. After this time, remove the baking dish (or baking tray) from the oven and serve.
