1 Cauliflower (about 1 kg)
600 g Red cabbage
7-10 Tbsp Salt
7-10 Tbsp Pepper
200 g Carrots
1/2 Cucumber
2 TABLESPOONS Fruit vinegar
4 TABLESPOONS Orange juice
6 TABLESPOONS Rapeseed oil (e.g. from Rapso or Rapunzel)

4 TSP sweet-hot chili sauce

Directions

1
For Köfte, preheat the oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 180 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Line a tray with baking paper. Clean, wash and coarsely grate the cauliflower or chop it very finely with a knife. Place on a baking tray and bake in a hot oven for 10-15 minutes. Remove and let cool a little.
2
In the meantime, clean and wash the red cabbage for the salad and cut it into thin strips from the stalk. 1⁄2 Add tsp. salt and knead well with your hands. Peel, wash and roughly grate the carrots. Wash the cucumber and cut or slice into thin slices. Mix vinegar, orange juice and pepper, fold in 2 tablespoons of oil. Mix all salad ingredients with the vinaigrette.
3
Grate cheese. Put the cauliflower on a tea towel and squeeze it out well (it takes some time for water to escape - so don't give up!) Knead the squeezed out cauliflower, cheese, eggs and almonds. Season with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into about 16 slightly oval balls.
4
Heat 4 tablespoons of oil gradually in a frying pan. Fry the balls in it in 2 portions all around for about 8 minutes each. Keep ready köfte warm in the oven (100 °C). Wash parsley and shake dry, chop. Season salad again. Serve with köfte. Sprinkle each with 1 tsp. chilli sauce and sprinkle with parsley.
