Cauliflower and feta fritters

Cauliflower and feta fritters are a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional fritters. This recipe combines the mild, nutty flavor of cauliflower with the tangy, creamy taste of feta cheese. These fritters are perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or even a light main course. They're easy to make and packed with flavor, making them a great option for both casual meals and special occasions.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1/2 cup buttermilk
120g
1 egg
50g
1 tbsp spearmint
16g
1/4 cauliflower
250g
1 cup feta cheese
230g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
5 cups arugula
100g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and buttermilk, mixing until smooth.
- Add the egg to the mixture and whisk until well combined.
2. Add Flavorings and Vegetables:
- Stir in the chopped spearmint.
- Add the finely chopped cauliflower and crumbled feta cheese to the batter. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
3. Cook the Fritters:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, pressing down lightly to form fritters about 3 inches in diameter.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches, adding more oil if necessary.
4. Prepare the Arugula Salad:
- While the fritters are cooking, place the arugula in a large bowl.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the arugula and toss gently to coat.
5. Serve:
- Serve the fritters hot, alongside the dressed arugula salad.
- Optionally, garnish with additional spearmint leaves or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.

Tips:

- Make sure to finely chop the cauliflower to ensure even cooking and a consistent texture in the fritters.

- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This helps the flour to absorb the liquid, resulting in a better texture.

- Use a non-stick frying pan to prevent the fritters from sticking and to minimize the amount of oil required.

- Cook the fritters over medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning on the outside.

- Serve the fritters immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor.

With their combination of cauliflower and feta, these fritters are both flavorful and satisfying. The simplicity of the ingredients allows the natural flavors to shine through, while the arugula adds a fresh, peppery contrast. Serve these fritters hot and enjoy them as a delicious and healthy part of your meal.
