These Lumpia cheese and cauliflower are vegetarian. It’s my favorite because I just love it when the cheese melts over the cauliflower and combine everything with spices. The crispy grilled Lumpia’s made a delicious snack or appetizer.

Instructions
Lumpia with cheese and cauliflower
Wash the cauliflower and cut into small florets.
Cook the cauliflower florets until al dente.
Grate the cheese.
Mix the grated cheese, cauliflower, yogurt, and cumin powder in a bowl.
Season with salt and pepper.
Roll the lumpia's
Make sure that the Lumpia wrappers are lying under a damp cloth, so the sheets won't dry out.
Use a brush to lubricate the sides of a sheet with water (see the video for clarification).
Spread about 2 tablespoons cauliflower cheese mixture over the spring roll.
Put the cauliflower on the low side of the sheet and let the borders on both sides 2 cm free from cauliflower.
Fold the sides inwards (about 2 cm), and roll the spring rolls.
Before the final rotation is made, you moisten the spring roll on the inside with a little extra water so it sticks well.
Role the roll further all.
Repeat for all the sheets, or until all your filling is done.
Ensure that the grill pan is hot and fry the spring rolls on both sides until a nice grill pattern is seen.
Serving
Serve with mustard dill sauce.
NOTES
Folding Lumpia's is often seen as a challenge. I've made a video in which the method is explained step by step (you can find the video at the bottom of this post).
You cook the cauliflower until it still got a bite, so you won't overcook it because the cauliflower cooks a little bit further when grilling.
You use a grill pan instead of a deep fryer. Therefore you do not need oil, and you still get a crispy outside
These Lumpia's are delicious with a honey-mustard-dill sauce (mix honey-mustard and dill in a ratio of 1: 1: 1)
