This is one of those sneaky dishes that disguise the flavour of cauliflower and gives it a real rich taste.  This recipe combines steam, crumbs and gentle frying which has been a favourite of ours for three generations.  You can alter the amount of butter depending on your taste and be aware the butter easily soaks into the cauliflower.

Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower head – washed, cut into small pieces, steamed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 60g / 2oz butter or to taste

Directions

  1. In a steamer, steam cauliflower sections for 10 minutes.  Allow to cool slightly. 
  2. In a bowl combine eggs with a fork.
  3. In another bowl add breadcrumbs. 
  4. Coat prepared cauliflower a piece at a time with egg followed by breadcrumbs.  Place crumbed piece on a separate plate. Repeat for each piece.
  5. Heat oil and butter in a large pan on low to medium heat till butter melts and sizzles.
  6. Add the cauliflower turning after 30 seconds.  Continue to turn until all sides are golden.  Serve.
