Cauliflower fritters with flaxseed are a nutritious and delicious way to enjoy your vegetables while also benefiting from the added nutrients of flaxseed. This recipe offers a delightful combination of crispy texture and savory flavors, making it an excellent snack or side dish.
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water. Stir well and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. This mixture will act as a binding agent for the fritters.
- Finely chop the cauliflower or pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice. You should have about 5 cups of riced cauliflower.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper for seasoning. Mix well.
- Add the riced cauliflower to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Pour in the flaxseed mixture, which should be gel-like by now. Mix everything until well combined.
- Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small patties or fritters. Aim for an even size to ensure uniform cooking.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the cauliflower patties to the skillet. Cook them in batches if necessary, so the pan isn't overcrowded.
- Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up any excess oil.
- Serve hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower is finely chopped or riced for even cooking and better consistency in the batter.
- You can add chopped herbs such as parsley or cilantro to enhance the flavor.
- If the batter is too thick, add a small amount of water to reach your desired consistency.
- For an extra crispy texture, let the fritters sit for a few minutes after cooking to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.
