Cauliflower broccoli balls with almond cheese boats

 
My own creation (the balls)!!! 
A very spontaneous, easy, healthy and quick dinner inspiration for you guys :)
Blend raw cauliflower and broccoli in a blender until smooth, transfer into small bowl, add 2 eggs, 1/2 cup buckwheat flour, salt, pepper and mix properly...
Create small balls, or triangels or squares (it is really up to you which shape you decide to go for) and bake for about 20min at 170°C.
Serve with any salad. I choose little gem salad, mixed one, cucumber and GRAPEFRUIT to make it even more interesting and tasty.

The last but not least: HOMEMADE CHEESE. 
A must go with this meal. 
Or anything else really. 
We had it as an appetizer with a toast before dinner! 
The best to eat immediately or ferment for extra depth of flavour. 
The acidophilus thrives and enlivens the nuts and those friendly bacteria are great for your gut health too.

Ingredients for a homemade cheese are:
1-2 cups nuts (any! I went for almonds). Soaked for 6-10hours.
1/2 cup of water or coconut cream
1tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
2 cloves of garlic
good pinch of salt
1 tsp acidophilus powder (or 1 tbsp from a previous batch of cheese) 

Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in blender and blend on low, stopping to scrape down the sides if required.
Once you have a smooth creamy consistency transfer to a clean container and leave to ferment in a warm place for 8-12 hours. 
Not too hot though, as you dont want to kill the bacteria.
