Ingredients

  • 2 cups cauliflower You can subsituted with 2 cups uncooked cauliflower rice.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herb leaves like oregano, or thyme
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated.
  • 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg
  • ⅔ cup all purpose flour plus more in case you need it
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes optional.
  • olive oil or vegetable oil for frying.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Boil the cauliflower in plenty of water for 10-15 minutes until tender.
  2. Drain well and add it in a bowl. Allow it to cool a little and mash it with a fork.
  3. Add the parmesan, yogurt, egg, mustard, herbs and the flour. Gently mix everything well together. The cauliflower might start falling apart so be gentle. Add more flour and a tablespoon or two of water to have firmer results (optional).Season with salt and pepper; add the chili flakes for a nice kick(optional).
  4. Heat 2-3 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan using high heat. Fill a ⅓ measuring cup with some of the cauliflower mix to form a pattie and add it to the hot oil in the pan. With the help of the spoons, tidy up the patty. Add a couple of more fritters. Don't crowd the pan. Fry each fritter for 2-3 minutes total for both sides, or until they are golden and lightly crispy on the outside.
  5. Remove fritters on a paper towel to absorb extra oil. Repeat process until all mix is used.

  • This recipe works with cooked cauliflower. It can be boiled, steamed or roasted.
  • You can use fresh or frozen cauliflower florets, boiled for 10 minutes in water until soft.
  • You can use raw riced cauliflower. Just add it to the mix as-is; cauliflower will cook while frying.
  • If you don't have parmesan cheese, use feta, pecorino romano, or leave it out altogether.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream.
  • Use any mustard you like or a teaspoon of ground mustard.
