vegetarian cauliflower meatballs

Cook the cleaned cauliflower in salted water until tender. It should have a bit of a bite. Reserve about 200 ml of the cooking water. When it has cooled, cut out the stalk and cut the florets into small pieces, making sure the stalk pieces are quite small. Mix the cauliflower pieces with the eggs, breadcrumbs, spices, and about 100 ml of the cooking water, knead lightly, and season to taste. Let it stand for about 15 minutes. If the mixture is too firm, stir in a little more of the cooking water. Form the mixture into meatball-sized patties and fry them slowly on both sides in butter, clarified butter, or oil over a low heat until golden brown. If you like, add some finely chopped parsley to the mixture and replace some of the water with cream. Making the patties thinner will result in a different flavor due to the extra roasted aroma.
