Ingredients:
– 1 head of Romanesco broccoli
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon cumin
– 1/4 teaspoon coriander
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 egg
– 1/2 cup chopped scallions
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
1. Rinse the Romanesco broccoli and cut it into florets. Remove the stems and any tough parts.
2. Using a food processor, pulse the Romanesco broccoli until it is finely chopped. Be careful not to overdo it, or the mixture will become too wet.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, cumin, and coriander.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the mixture into the flour mixture and stir until fully combined.
5. Add the chopped scallions, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped Romanesco broccoli to the batter. Mix well.
6. In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, spreading them out slightly with the back of a spoon.
7. Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
8. Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce or aioli.
