CAULIFLOWER FRITTERS

Posted On: 2026-06-05 13:17:55

1 small cauliflower chopped into small florets (about 350g or 12.3 oz)

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

zest of 1 lemon

small bunch fresh parsley chopped

small bunch chives chopped

60 g (1/2 cup) plain (all-purpose) flour

1 clove garlic peeled and minced

50 g (1/2 cup) grated parmesan cheese use Italian-style vegetarian hard cheese for a vegetarian version

1 medium egg

3 tbsp olive oil

To Serve:

Tzatziki

a few sprigs of fresh dill

Directions:

Steam or boil the cauliflower florets for 6 minutes, then drain.

Place in a bowl and crush lightly with a potato masher. It doesn't need to be smooth, just crushed enough to look like small gravel-sized lumps.

Add in the salt, pepper, lemon zest, parsley, chives, flour, garlic, parmesan, and egg. Mix together with a spoon to combine.

Scoop out a heaped tablespoon of the mixture. Roll into a ball in your hands, squash flat and place on a plate. Repeat until all of the mixture is used. You should get 8-10 fritters.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan on a medium heat.

Working in two batches, fry the cauliflower fritters for 3-4 minutes, turn over and fry for another 3-4 minutes until well browned on both sides (keep the first batch warm in a low oven).

Place the fritters on a serving plate. I like to top them with tzatziki and a sprig of fresh dill. Serve with extra tzatziki.
