Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup broccoli florets roughly chopped
  • 1 cup fully cooked short grain brown rice
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • ¼ cup Italian-flavored or regular breadcrumbs
  • ¼ teaspoon salt optional
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning or cumin optional

Equipment

  • Oven
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • food processor

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Bring a kettle of water to a boil and pour over the broccoli in a heat-safe bowl. Let sit for about 5 minutes. Drain well.
  3. Add the broccoli, rice, cheese, Parmesan, eggs, and breadcrumbs to the bowl of a food processor. Add salt and Italian seasoning or cumin if desired.
  4. Grind very well to make a uniform batter. If the batter doesn't seem to be holding together well, add another tablespoon or so of breadcrumbs.
  5. Portion into 1-tablespoon size ovals and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25-27 minutes or until firm to the touch and lightly golden brown. Alternatively, cook in an air fryer at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes on a greased tray. Let cool slightly and serve.
