Tofu Meatballs With Caper Sauce And Almond Mashed Potatoes
- 1 3/4 pounds potatoes floury, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup capers
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1 onion finely diced
- 3 medium eggs beaten
- 5 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 4 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 7 5/8 tablespoons cottage cheese
- 1 1/3 pounds tofu crumbled
- 7 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons plain flour
- 3 3/8 tablespoons white wine
- 4 1/4 cups vegetable stock
- 2 dashes worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 1/4 cups whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- 1 pinch grated nutmeg
- 7/8 cup milk
- 7 1/4 tablespoons ground almonds
- Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling, salted water for 15-20 mins, until tender. Drain the potatoes, season and mash with the milk. Keep warm.
- Meanwhile, heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add the onion and saute for 2-3 mins. Remove from the heat. Place the onion in a bowl, let cool slightly then mix with the eggs, 3 tbsp chopped parsley, breadcrumbs, 3 tsp mustard, cottage cheese, tofu and whole capers. Shape into 12 "meatballs." Heat 2 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan, and sear the "meatballs" in batches for 4-5 mins, turning. Keep warm.
- For the caper sauce, melt 4 tbsp butter in a saucepan then stir in the flour. Gradually stir in the wine and stock, followed by the Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp mustard, 2 tbsp reserved caper brine and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Season. Stir in the cream, chopped capers, sugar and nutmeg then simmer for 5-10 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Melt the remaining butter in a pan. Add the ground almonds and mix. Divide the "meatballs" and mashed potatoes between 4 plates. Drizzle the almond butter over the potatoes and spoon the caper sauce on top. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.
