I am trying to include more vegetable as side dishes and so when I came across the recipe for Cauliflower fritters I thought it was perfect.It is another delicious one from Skinny Taste. Cauliflower is such a subtle tasting yet hardy vegetable. You can mix variety of ingredients to it. You can replace the cheese in this with Feta for a more Mediterranean feel. You can add on top creme fraiche and caviar to make it an appetiser. For instance I didn't go by the recipe exactly I was more inspired by it. I used milk instead of water and cheddar instead of Pecorino Romano. Although I love garlic I omitted it this time. The options are endless really.

Adapted from Skinny Tastes

Ingredients:
4 cups steamed cauliflower (roughly chopped)
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 cup whole wheat flour
                                                                2 eggs
                                                                1/2 cup Pecorino Romano
                                                                1/4 cup parsley finely chopped
                                                                1/4 cup hot water salt and pepper
                                                                1/4 cup olive oil In a large bowl

Directions:
Combine cauliflower, flour, garlic, eggs, grated cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Add water so that batter becomes slightly more dense than pancake batter. On medium-low heat, add 1 tbsp of oil in a 10 inch skillet coating bottom of the pan.Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to form fritters. You can fit 4 fritters at a time. Cook until golden brown, turn and cook another few minutes. Add a little more oil to the pan, and repeat with the remaining batter. Makes 24 fritters.
