Cooking Instructions
- 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.
- Place the fritters on a serving plate. Top them with tzatziki and a sprig of fresh dill. Serve with extra tzatziki.
Notes
These fritters are a great way to use up cauliflower and can be served as a snack or part of a main meal.
