When it comes to Cauliflower Fritters, I want the works. Lots of herbs, melty cheese, and all that savory goodness. 
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 20 oz. Cauliflower Florets
  • 2 Green Onions, chopped
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup Chopped Italian Parsley
  • Zest of 1 Lemon
  • 1 Egg
  • ½ cup All Purpose Flour
  • ¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • ¾ cup Havarti (or other melty cheese)
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • ½ tsp. Black Pepper
  • 3 tbsp. Neutral Oil, for frying
  • Italian Parsley, for garnish
Instructions
  1. Boil the cauliflower florets for 5 minutes and then drain.
  2. Place the florets in a large mixing bowl and mash them (it’s okay if it’s a little lumpy). Then mix together with the green onions, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, egg, flour, grated parmesan, Havarti, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Scoop the cauliflower mixture out to create patties. You should get roughly 8 large fritters.
  4. Working in batches, fry the fritters in the oil for 4 minutes, then flip them and continue to fry for an additional 4 - 5 minutes. Once cooked, remove and set them on a wire rack over paper towels to drain.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and sprinkled with fresh parsley.
