Cauliflower is a beautiful plant and it actually comes in a variety of color depending on where it is grown. For instance, cauliflower can be white, orange, green, and purple. We eat the flower part of the plant most often, but the leaves of the plant surrounding the flower may be useful for making broths and stocks for soups and stews.
It is a vegetable food source that is low in fat, which makes it an obvious choice for those who wish to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. It is also high in vitamin C, water, dietary fiber, and folate. It is a healthy food source that is very good for you and it is delicious to eat. It belongs to the same family of plants as the cabbage and broccoli.
If you are steaming the cauliflower to make this recipe, you will only steam the vegetable for about 8 minutes. If you are boiling the cauliflower to make this dish, you will only boil it for about 5 minutes. Much more cooking will cause the cooked cauliflower to become mushy in texture rather than keeping some of its firmness.
Recipe for Cauliflower Patties
What You Need
1 large cauliflower head
2 eggs
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Olive oil
How to Make It
Using a large pot of hot water you will boil the cauliflower until it becomes tender. Remove the cauliflower from the water and drain off all the liquid. Place the boiled cauliflower in a large mixing bowl and mash it up by using a potato masher or you might want to process it in the food processor long enough to mash up all the cooked cauliflower.
Add the eggs one at a time and mix thoroughly after each. Stir in the seasoned bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste and garlic powder. Mix to combine well.
Divide this mixture into even portions and then shape those portions into small patties. Set aside while heating the oil for cooking the cauliflower patties.
Using a heavy skillet over a medium high heat, add the olive oil to heat. After heating the oil, add the patties and cook on both sides until they are lightly browned. You can serve these cauliflower patties on toast, homemade mini burger buns. You can serve these patties as a vegetable dish or even serve them as a cold or hot appetizer.
