BASIC CAULIFLOWER FRITTERS

I fiddled with this a bit and really liked the result. I am only cooking for two so I used two cups of cauliflower florets instead of six. I added 1/2 cup of raw organic wheat germ, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 eggs, liberal amounts of dried basil, parsley, granulated garlic, minced onion, some oregano and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Fried in a small amount of rice bran oil. Delicious.

Ingredients

5 cups chopped cauliflower florets
2 eggs
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
salt and pepper to taste
vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Place the cauliflower into the food processor and process until finely minced.
Transfer the cauliflower into a large mixing bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, excluding the vegetable oil. Mix everything well. (You should have a nice, paste-like mixture. If the mixture looks a little too soft and moist – add some more flour.)
Using an ice-cream scoop as a measure, form small, 1/3 inch-thick patties. You can make them smaller or larger depending on your personal preference.
Fry the patties on medium heat, in a small amount of vegetable oil for about 2 minutes per side.
Serve the fritters with sour cream or your favorite sauce.
