Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400'f

2. 2

   Coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch oven proof dish or pan with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil so all of it is well covered

3. 3

   If you want to use more then do , these balls will stick to the bottom

4. 4

   Grate the cauliflower and cabbage

5. 5

   I used my food processor and it saved a lot of time

6. 6

   Put all the other ingredients except the olive oil in a large bowl and add the grated cauliflower and cabbage

7. 7

   Mix until well combined

8. 8

   Let the mixture sit for about 20-30 minutes so the moisture from the veggies is absorbed by the flour , this will ensure that the mixture will stick together and you can roll it into balls

9. 9

   Roll into 1 inch balls

10. 10

    I found squeezing them back and forth in my hands worked well

11. 11

    Place the kofta balls in the oiled casserole dish

12. 12

    Drizzle a little more olive oil over each kofta ball

13. 13

    Bake in the oven for 20 minutes

14. 14

    The kofta should be a nice golden colour when you remove them

15. 15

    Let them cool for a few minutes

16. 16

    If they stick gently slide a spatula under each ball to remove

17. 17

    Put the kofta balls in another dish

18. 18

    Spread 1 / 2 of the jar of pasta sauce in the bottom of the casserole dish

19. 19

    Place the kofta balls on the sauce

20. 20

    Pour the rest of the sauce on top

21. 21

    I added a little water to the jar to get the rest of the sauce out

22. 22

    Let them sit for about one hour

23. 23

    The kofta balls will absorb the sauce very well

24. 24
