Cauliflower is trendy today, but these fried cauliflowers have always been part of the Chilean home cuisine.
Cauliflower fritters bring back many memories for me. As a kid, I did not like them; I was a picky eater, but after moving out for college, I learned to appreciate my family's cooking. After marrying, I stopped cooking cauliflower because my husband did not like it, or he thought that, but little by little, I have been making him come around, and we enjoyed these cauliflower fritters together.
I recommend cutting the cauliflower into slices instead of "trees." The flat edges make it easier to marinate and fry the cauliflower evenly.
