BAKED BROCCOLI CHEESE BALLS

Baked Broccoli Cheese Balls image

You'll be surprised how much broccoli is crammed into these! They certainly don't taste healthy - but they are. They are juicy and moist inside, golden on the outside, they stay pretty round after baking, and are gorgeous to serve as a vegetarian main or as bites! Serves 3 - 4 as a main.

Ingredients

2 cups (packed) roughly chopped soft cooked broccoli (well drained) ((~400g/13 oz raw broccoli) (Note 1))
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 eggs
¾ cup shredded cheese ((Cheddar, Colby or Tasty cheese are my usual))
2 shallots / scallions (, finely sliced)
2 cloves garlic (, minced)
¼ tsp salt
Black pepper
Olive oil spray
2/3 cup plain yoghurt
Zest of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ garlic clove (, minced)
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil ((adjust to taste, depends on fat % of yoghurt used))
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 200C/390F (all oven types).
Line tray with baking / parchment paper. (Note 2)
Place all ingredients (except oil spray) in a bowl. Mix well to combine, mashing up the broccoli as you go (like when you are cooking mince).
Scoop up a heaped tablespoon, then press in firmly. Flick out into your hand then form into a ball. Place on tray. Repeat with remaining mixture - should make 15 - 18 balls.
Spray with oil then bake for 25 minutes, or until the surface is slightly crisp and golden.
Serve with Lemon Yoghurt Sauce - it also goes great with ketchup!
Sauce: Mix ingredients together then set aside for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.

Harissa Yogurt Sauce image

Harissa yogurt sauce can go on a tagine or with kabobs or as a base for a salad and eat with pita. You decide! Adjust the amount of Harissa to your liking. Some tubes / cans of harissa paste or sauce one can be milder than another so know your harissas heat level and decide from there.
