Fritos de Coliflor Chilean Cauliflower Fritters

Cauliflower is trendy today, but these fried cauliflowers have always been part of the Chilean home cuisine.

fritos-coliflor-hCauliflower fritters bring back many memories for me. 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’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.
