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
