How to Make It
Step 1
Add the cauliflower rice to a saucepan with 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook the rice through for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Drain away any excess liquid and squeeze any extra water out from the rice. Set aside to steam dry.
Step 2
Finely dice the bell pepper and onion and roughly chop the cilantro. Add the cooled cauliflower rice to a food processor along with the bell pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro, ground almonds, salt, and pepper. Pulse well to combine.
Step 3
Add the tahini to the food processor. Blend well to combine, creating a thick paste. The mixture should not be too wet or too dry and should be shapeable with your hands.
Step 4
Line a shallow oven tray with baking paper. Add 1/4 cup ground almonds to a small bowl and season with a little salt and pepper. Divide the paste mixture into 12 even-sized portions, creating nuggets with your hands. Roll each nugget in the ground almonds to create a light breading.
Step 5
Arrange the breaded nuggets across the lined oven tray. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until piping hot through and golden brown all over. Serve immediately.
