1 cup cauliflower, cut into small pieces

3 cups veggie stock

1 tbls olive oil

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 cup firm tofu, mashed with a fork

Wash and drain the millet and quinoa into a saucepan. Now add the cauliflower to the pot and  the stock. Bring to the boil then simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the grains and cauliflower are soft.

Meanwhile, sauté the onion and garlic in the oil.

Put the millet mixture in a large bowl and add the onion mixture. Now add the tofu, herbs, zest and flour. Taste for seasoning. (Leave this mixture in the fridge if you can.)

Using about 2 tbls, shape into logs. Carefully dust with flour then roll in the spelt crumbs.
