Cauliflower fritters with parmesan are a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional fritters. They offer a crispy texture paired with a rich, cheesy flavor, making them perfect as an appetizer or a side dish. This recipe combines fresh cauliflower, aromatic herbs, and tangy parmesan cheese to create a mouthwatering dish that's sure to impress.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Remove the outer leaves and the core of the cauliflower and break it into small florets.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Drain well and set aside to cool slightly.
- Once the cauliflower has cooled enough to handle, use a potato masher or a fork to mash the florets. You can also pulse them a few times in a food processor if you prefer a finer texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower, grated parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley and chives.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and then add them to the cauliflower mixture.
- Next, add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and dried coriander to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined. The batter should be thick but still spoonable.
- Using a spoon, scoop out a portion of the batter and shape it into a patty with your hands. Repeat this step until all of the batter is used.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the fritters to the skillet in batches. Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the cauliflower fritters warm, optionally with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Tips:
- Make sure to finely chop the cauliflower or pulse it in a food processor for a consistent texture.
- Pat the cauliflower dry after washing to remove excess moisture, which will help the fritters stay crispy.
- Adjust the amount of herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences.
- If the batter is too loose, add a bit more flour to achieve the desired consistency.
- Cook the fritters over medium heat to ensure they are cooked through without burning the exterior.
- Serve the fritters hot and crisp for the best taste and texture, and pair them with a complementary dipping sauce like garlic aioli or tzatziki.
Cauliflower fritters with parmesan are a delightful way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet without sacrificing taste. They're easy to prepare, and their crispy, golden exterior combined with the soft, flavorful interior makes them a hit at any meal. Serve hot with your favorite dip or sauce and enjoy the delicious flavor medley.
