Best Aunt Jessies Cauliflower Patties Recipes

CAULIFLOWER PATTIES

Steps:

• Bring water to boil in a saucepan. Add cauliflower; boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Strain cauliflower, transfer to a bowl, and mash with a fork.
• Stir almond flour, eggs, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into cauliflower until well-combined; form into 1/4-cup sized patties.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry patties in a single layer until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining patties and olive oil.

CAULIFLOWER, POTATO AND QUINOA PATTIES

Steps:

• Steam potatoes over 1 inch of boiling water until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and mash with a fork. The skins will break up in the mash.
• Line steamer with cheesecloth and place cauliflower on cheesecloth so the small pieces don't fall through. Steam 5 to 6 minutes, until very tender. Remove from heat and stir into potatoes. Add remaining ingredients except sesame seeds and oil. Season generously with salt, combine well, taste and adjust seasonings.
• Place sesame seeds in a wide bowl. Scoop out about 1/3 cup of cauliflower-potato mixture and roll into a ball (moisten your hands to prevent sticking). Roll in the seeds, then gently flatten into a patty shape. Place on a plate or sheet pan and continue to shape all of the patties. If you have time, refrigerate for 1 hour or longer (I have made these with no problem without refrigerating first).
• When you are ready to cook, place a rack over a sheet pan and cover the rack with paper towels. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, heavy nonstick frying pan over high heat. When pan is hot, swirl to coat with oil. Turn heat down to medium. Place 3 to 5 patties in the pan (do not crowd), and cook until well browned on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and brown for 3 to 4 more minutes. Remove to rack. Heat remaining oil in the pan and cook remaining patties. Remove paper towels from underneath patties and keep them warm in a low oven until ready to serve. Serve topped with Sriracha, with a salad on the side.

AIR FRYER BLACK GARLIC-CAULIFLOWER PATTIES

Steps:

• Combine cauliflower and black garlic in the bowl of a food processor; process until finely "riced". Transfer to a bowl. Add flour, eggs, bread crumbs, baking powder, salt, black pepper, basil, parsley, oregano, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and onion powder. Stir until well combined.
• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
• Drop cauliflower mixture onto the parchment paper using a large cookie scoop; flatten slightly with your fingers.
• Air fry for 4 to 6 minutes, flip using a spatula, and continue cooking until patties are set, about 1 minute more. Remove from the air fryer and top each patty with 1/4 slice of Swiss cheese. Return to the air fryer and cook until cheese is melted, 30 to 40 seconds more.
