Oven-Baked Broccoli Balls Recipe
Today I present to you a vegetarian recipe to showcase broccoli. An appetizer or a starter, easy to prepare, to make broccoli enjoyable for those who are reluctant. It's delicious and light.
Meatballs
400 Broccoli florets
120 Breadcrumbs
2 Egg
1 Chopped onion
2 cloves Chopped garlic
1 Chopped chives
¼ Salt
¼ Pepper
Sauce
150 Plain stirred yogurt
½ Lemon, zest and juice
1 clove Chopped garlic
2 Olive oil
½ Mustard
Salt
Pepper
1 Chopped chives
Directions
1
Cook the broccoli in salted boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes. It should be tender. Mine was frozen and thawed, so 5 minutes from the boil was enough. If it is raw, it will need to cook for 7-10 minutes.
2
Remove it and place it in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to stop the cooking and set the color. Then drain it and cut it into small pieces.
3
Preheat the oven to 200°C, static heat.
4
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the meatballs with a spoon until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
5
Form balls and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper. I made 28 balls.
6
Bake and cook for about 30 minutes or until their surface is slightly crispy and golden.
7
In the meantime, prepare the sauce. In a bowl, mix all the ingredients. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to blend well.
8
To finish, serve the meatballs hot or at room temperature, accompanied by the fresh sauce. You can find the detailed recipe on my blog, as well as plenty of other delicious recipes.
