4. Shaping of the Boulettes
Take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and form pellets the size of a nut with your slightly damp hands to prevent it from sticking. Place the pellets on the hotplate, spacing them slightly for uniform cooking. You should get 12 to 15 pellets, depending on their size.
5. Cooking
Gently brush the tops of the pellets with the olive oil with a brush to promote golden. Place in the oven at 200oC for 20 to 25 minutes, turning the pellets mid-cook (after 10-12 minutes) to gild evenly. They must be golden and crisp on the outside while remaining tender on the inside.
6. Serve
Serve hot or warm zucchini balls with a sauce of your choice: a home-made tomato sauce, a garlic and lemon yogurt sauce, or a dip with fresh cream and herbs. For a festive touch, fill in fresh parsley or extra parmesan.
