Cauliflower And Feta Cheese Fritters

You guys, I have stumbled upon something pretty freaking awesome here. It turns out that cauliflower is indeed the most versatile ingredient in the world and should there ever be a zombie apocalypse, I hope to find myself on a cauliflower farm because seriously, there is nothing you can’t do with a cauliflower. My most recent discovery are these awesome cauliflower and feta cheese fritters. And boy, are they good!!

How to make cauliflower fritters

Break down two heads of cauliflower into tiny florets then roast them at high heat for around 15-20 minutes until their edges start to char and they are just cooked. Mash them down with a fork or potato masher until they are roughly the size of corn kernels. Mix the cauliflower into a simple batter of flour, eggs and flavorings. Fry spoonfuls of the batter in a splash of oil until golden and cooked through on both sides then serve.

How to serve cauliflower fritters

And I’ll admit, many of these didn’t even make it to the serving platter. They are absolutely addictive and are so versatile. I could imagine them being just awesome topped with crispy bacon and a soft poached egg, make them a bit smaller and serve them as a canape topped with a dollop of sour cream and a little smoked salmon or bacon or just have them as is with a generous drizzle of lemon juice. However you have them, make sure you make them soon because once you do, you’ll want to make them all the time. And in fact, guess what we’re having for dinner tonight? Oh yes, indeedy. Even more cauliflower-feta-frittery goodness.

Can fritters be frozen?

Once cooked, fritters can be stacked with baking/parchment paper and frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Defrost and heat in a pan or in the oven until crisp and golden.
