Cauliflower and Leek Patties

 

Recipe By :Bridget Jones

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : New Import

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 leeks -- finely chopped

1 garlic clove -- crushed

1 teaspoons dried marjoram

12 ounces cauliflower -- see directions

salt and pepper

2 cups fresh white breadcrumbs

1/4 cup chopped parsley

4 green onions -- chopped

1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

 

Include the stalk and any little green leaves with the cauliflower. Finely

chopped.

 

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the leeks, garlic, and marjoram. Stir for

5 minutes, until the leeks are softened slightly, then add the cauliflower and

stir well. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in seasoning, then cook uncovered

for a further 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn the vegetables into a bowl

and let cool.

 

Mix in the breadcrumbs, parsley, spring onions, and cheese. Taste for seasoning

and add more salt and pepper, if required. Cover a baking sheet with plastic

wrap, shape the mixture into eight round patties, and place them on the baking

sheet as they are ready. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.

 

Preheat the broiler. Place the patties on a flameproof dish, or line the broiler

pan with foil and brush it lightly with oil, then place the patties on it. Brush

the patties with a little oil and broil for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown on

top. Turn the patties, brush with oil, and cook until golden for 3-4 minutes on

the second side. Serve at once.
