CAULIFLOWER FRITTERS RECIPE WITH CUMIN AND MINT YOGURT
Easy, perfectly fluffy cauliflower fritters with fresh parsley and a few warm Middle Eastern spices including cumin, turmeric, and Aleppo pepper (you can use red pepper flakes instead, if you need more heat). These are great right off the pan or at room temperature with the mint yogurt or with a simple splash of lemon juice!

Steps:
- To make the yogurt, place all the ingredients for the mint yogurt in a bowl. Mix to combine and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil and add the cauliflower. Simmer for 4 minutes, then (making sure to reserve 3 to 4 tablespoons of the cooking water) drain into a colander.
- Using a fork or a potato masher, crush the cauliflower, then transfer it to a large bowl.
- Add the flour, parsley, onion, eggs, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, Aleppo pepper flakes, baking powder, and 1 ¼ salt and a good grind of black pepper. Add 3 tablespoons of the cooking water and mix well to combine.
- Line a large plate with paper towels.
- In a large saute pan (about 9 inches wide), heat the oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the oil. You'll need to do this in batches (adding 4 to 5 fritters at a time) so as not to crowd the pan, and use a spatula to keep them apart. Fry for about 4 to 5 minutes, flipping over halfway through, until both sides are golden brown (mine took 2 minutes on each side).
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked fritters to the prepared plate and set aside while you continue with the remaining batches.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, with the mint yogurt on the side.

Steps:
- Whisk batter ingredients together, then let it rest while you make the dipping sauce. Mix sauce ingredients together and set aside. Cook cauliflower in boiling salted water for 2 mins, then drain and refresh with cold water.
- Heat about 10cm depth vegetable oil in a high-sided pan. Once oil is hot, test with a small bit of bread - if it turns golden in 30 secs, it's ready.
- Dip the dry cauliflower into batter, shake off any excess and place in the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden, about 3 mins, then remove to a plate lined with kitchen paper. To keep warm, keep the florets in a low oven. Once all the cauliflower is fried, season with sea salt and serve with the sauce.

FRIED WHOLE CAULIFLOWER WITH CREAMY LEMON DIPPING SAUCE
Cauliflower takes center stage in this deceptively simple dish that could be served as an entree or as a side to your favorite roasted chicken or turkey. By frying the cauliflower whole, it turns a deep golden color and becomes perfectly tender in a fraction of the time it would take if you were to roast it. We add a creamy lemon dipping sauce that adds just the right amount of zip.

Steps:
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, parsley and a large pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Refrigerate while you fry the cauliflower.
- Fill a large, deep stockpot halfway with oil and heat to 375 degrees F over medium-high heat. Set a cooling rack over a baking sheet.
- Gently lower the cauliflower into the hot oil with a large spider or large slotted spoon. This might splatter so be very careful once the cauliflower is in the oil. The cauliflower might not be fully submerged, but that is okay. Cook until the cauliflower is golden brown and you can easily insert a paring knife into one of the florets, 5 to 7 minutes, carefully flipping the cauliflower halfway through the cooking time.
- Lift the cauliflower out of the hot oil using the large spider or slotted spoon and transfer to the cooling rack. Season liberally with salt. Allow the excess oil to drip away before putting the cauliflower onto a large serving platter. Serve alongside the creamy lemon sauce.
