Cauliflower fritters are a delicious and versatile dish, perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or even a main course. This recipe combines the mild flavor of cauliflower with the savory notes of parmesan cheese and garlic, bound together with self-raising flour and eggs for a crispy, golden finish. Let's transform these simple ingredients into mouth-watering cauliflower fritters.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the cauliflower under cold water and pat it dry.
- Cut the cauliflower into small florets, discarding the leaves and stem.
- Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain any excess water and allow them to cool slightly.
- Place the cooled cauliflower florets in a large mixing bowl.
- Mash the florets with a fork or potato masher until they are broken down but still slightly chunky.
- Add the self-raising flour, minced garlic, chopped parsley, grated parmesan cheese, and beaten eggs to the mashed cauliflower.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and a thick batter forms.
- Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out portions of the batter and shape them into fritters about the size of a golf ball. Flatten them slightly to form patties.
- Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the fritters in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet.
- Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the fritters warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy them as a snack or a side dish.
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower is finely chopped or grated to help the fritters bind better and cook evenly.
- If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit more flour; if too dry, a splash of water or a small extra egg could correct it.
- For extra flavor, consider adding spices like paprika, cumin, or even a pinch of chili flakes to the batter.
- Use a non-stick frying pan or skillet and heat the oil properly before adding the batter to avoid sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Drain the fritters on a paper towel after frying to remove excess oil, keeping them crisp.
Cauliflower fritters are not only tasty but also a healthy alternative to traditional fritters. They can be paired with a variety of dipping sauces or enjoyed on their own. By following these tips and steps, you can achieve perfectly crispy and flavorful fritters every time. Enjoy your delicious creation!
