Cauliflower-Stuffed Meatball Ragout in Spicy Tomato Sauce, Tunisian Mubattan Bruklu Recipe courtesy of Oliver Andreini, Culinary Institute of America , Interesting! I wish I had added more harissa The meatballs were very tasty & perfectly cooked I blanched 2 heads of cauliflower & put all not used into a gratin dish, buried it in parmesan & baked it until browned 😉 Everyone wishes there was more! The oil & tomato sauce did NOT want to mix I whisked it together as best i could The end result was very tasty I served it over basmati to sop up the sauce plus in case the kids thought it was too hot, they could stir it together No need, as posted it wasn’t very spicy Thank you! Made for Traveling Through Tunisia in the NA/ME Forum 10/13 Actually, I think this was a NA/ME Tag!

Have a Bowl of Water Handy to Keep Your Hands Wet While Making Meatballs. Meatballs Are Formed by Flattening a Lemon-Sized Portion of Meat Into a Thin Patty and Wrapping the Patty Around a Cauliflower Floret to Completely Enclose. Form Into an Oval Shape, Then Dip Into the Eggs and Dredge in Flour, Tapping Off Any Excess Flour. Cook the Meatballs in Oil Until Golden About 4 Minute, Without Crowding the Fryer. Remove With a Slotted Spoon to Paper Toweling to Drain. |
