Cauliflower Fritters

Versión en español

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, the truth is as a kid I did not like them at all, I was one picky eater, but after moving out for college I learned to appreciate my family cooking. After marrying, I stopped cooking cauliflower because my husband does not like it, or he thought that, but little by little I have been making him come around and we enjoyed these cauliflowers 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.
