Method
-
Preheat oven to 200 degrees and place the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet. Drizzle (or spray) lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake in oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway to roast evenly.
-
Once roasted, move the cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until the mix is coarsely found. Pop this mixture into a large bowl.
-
Into this bowl add the bread crumbs, the eggs, the flour, the various spices, the chives, and a bit of salt and pepper (to taste). Mix well until combined, then cover with cling wrap and chill in the fridge for several hours, or until firm.
-
After the mix has chilled, scoop a 3 tablespoons into your (clean) hand. Form it into a patty that is about 2-3cm thick. Repeat until you have finished the mixture. You can make either 6 very large cakes, or 8 smaller cakes.
-
In a non-stick pan add a vegetable oil of your choice and fry the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan, and be careful when flipping to ensure they do not fall apart. Transfer to paper towels to drain before serving.
