Method

  1. Step 1 of 7
    To make the filling, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, for a further 2 minutes or until garlic and onions are evenly coated and the flour comes away from the sides of the pan.
  2. Step 2 of 7
    Slowly add milk in batches, whisking thoroughly between each addition until no lumps remain. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring for 2 minutes or until sauce becomes thick.
  3. Step 3 of 7
    Add cauliflower and parsley. Season and stir to combine. Place mixture into a shallow container, then cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or until completely cool and firm.
  4. Step 4 of 7
    To make the tzatziki dip, combine yoghurt, cucumber, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside in the fridge.
  5. Step 5 of 7
    To make the arancini crumb, roll heaped tablespoons of filling mixture into balls. Coat each ball in flour, then dip in extra soy milk and roll in panko crumbs.
  6. Step 6 of 7
    Heat enough vegetable oil to cover the base of a medium frying pan. Shallow fry crumbed balls for 4-6 minutes over medium-high heat or until golden brown and heated through.
  7. Step 7 of 7
    Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately with tzatziki dip, lemon wedges, and parsley.
