They’re sooooo tasty. But the secret of their tastiness is in the batter. Let me show you how…

FRIED CAULIFLOWER

• 1 head of cauliflower, cut in medium sized florets
• 2 cups whole wheat or spelt flour 
• 2  eggs
• 2 tbs cornstarch
•  1 tbs salt or garlic salt
•  a few grinds of cracked black pepper
• water – about 2 cups
• a few sprinkles of paprika –
• 1/2 cup parsley or celery  cut into small pieces
•  optional Canola oil ( or any other cooking oil) – for frying

1. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs,mix the flour, cornstarch and the water. Mix the water slowly, maybe in two batches. The idea is for the batter to be the same consistency as pancake batter.
2. Add to the batter, salt, celery or parsley, and pepper. Add paprika, if using.
3. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Dunk the pieces of cauliflower in the batter. Clean the piece of any running batter and place carefully in the hot oil.
5. Fry the little morsels until golden brown on all sides. It should take a few minutes – this way the cauliflower will cook/soften a bit and the batter will be golden brown and crunchy.

Before frying, wash the cauliflower first and cut into flowerettes. Then  boil them in a deep pan semi-boiled. not too hard and not too soft. Then remove from pan and strain. Then follow the steps above in frying.
