Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and break the head into florets. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to get rid of any dirt or impurities.
2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain well and let them cool for a few minutes.
3. Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice-like grains. Alternatively, you can use a box grater to achieve a similar texture.
4. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower “rice,” flour, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until it forms a sticky batter.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Take a spoonful of the cauliflower batter and shape it into a small patty using your hands. Carefully place it in the skillet and repeat until you have filled the skillet, leaving some space between each fritter.
6. Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown. Once done, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
7. Serve the cauliflower fritters warm with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or as a delicious accompaniment to a main dish.
