Cauliflower fritters
A great snack for the kids or starter for a meal.
Ingredients
half large cauliflower
300g self-raising flour
100g grated parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove, crushed
3 tbsp chopped Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
3 eggs, lightly beaten
olive oil, for frying
Method
Break up the cauliflower into small pieces. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil, add the cauliflower and cook until soft (if a fork goes through the cauliflower easily it is cooked). Drain and cool in a bowl.
Add the flour, cheese, garlic, parsley and some salt and pepper to the cauliflower and mix lightly. Add the beaten eggs and mix again. If the mixture is too dry, add a little water to bring it together.
Heat enough oil to cover the base of a frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add tablespoons of the mixture, taking care not to overcrowd them. Cook until golden, turn over and flatten slightly with a fork. Cook on the other side until golden and cooked through to the centre.
Serve hot or at room temperature as a pre-dinner snack.
