Italian meatballs with cauli 'rice'

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Combine the beef mince in a bowl with eggs, garlic, half the Italian herbs and half the fresh parsley. Shape into balls and place on a baking tray lined with paper or foil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from the oven and place to one side.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 2-3 minutes or until transparent. Add tomatoes to the pan and reduce the heat. Then add the remaining Italian herbs and parsley, stir together, and bring to the simmer. Add the meatballs to the sauce, and continue to cook until sauce is reduced.

Whilst the meatballs are cooking in the sauce, prepare cauliflower 'rice' by processing cauliflower using a food processer or blender until finely chopped. Remove cauliflower to a microwave safe plate. Cover with damp paper towel and microwave on high for 2 minutes.

Divide the cauliflower 'rice' between two serving bowls, add the meatballs and sauce over the top, and sprinkle with fresh parsley and black pepper.

TIP: You can purchase pre-made cauliflower rice at most supermarkets in the fresh fruit and vegetable section.
