CAULIFLOWER FRITTERS RECIPE WITH CUMIN AND MINT YOGURT



Cauliflower Fritters Recipe with Cumin and Mint Yogurt image

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!

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the Mint Yogurt
1 cup Greek yogurt
½ tsp dried mint
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
For the Cauliflower Fritters
1 small cauliflower, (cut into 1 ½-inch florets (3 cups florets))
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup fresh parsley, (finely chopped)
1 small onion, (finely chopped (about ¾ cup))
2 eggs
1 ½ tsp cumin
¾ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp Aleppo pepper, ((or ¼ tsp red pepper flakes))
½ tsp baking powder
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup sunflower oil

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.

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Few grinds black pepper
1 12-ounce bottle of beer
Vegetable oil for deep frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

CAULIFLOWER FRITTERS



Cauliflower Fritters image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 to 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 splash red wine vinegar
1 small bunch cilantro leaves, snipped with scissors
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon canola oil, plus 6 cups for frying, divided
1 1/2 bottles beer, at room temperature
1 large head cauliflower, stemmed, broken into bite-size pieces, washed and thoroughly dried
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
Water, for thinning

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Put all of the ingredients into a bowl and toss to combine.
  • For the fritters: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, turmeric and ground ginger. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil and whisk in the beer. Set aside in a warm place because, like a bread dough, it will puff up slightly.
  • Put the cauliflower in a medium-size bowl and use a small strainer to sprinkle it with an even layer of the paprika. Toss to coat.
  • In a large pot, over medium heat, add the remaining 6 cups of canola oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Prepare a baking sheet fitted with paper towels or a kitchen towel to drain the florets as they come out of the oil. Stir the batter slightly. To test the consistency of the batter and the temperature of the oil, put a couple of pieces of cauliflower on a slotted spoon or spider (Chef's Note: Alternatively, use your fingers), and submerge them into the batter. It should coat the pieces lightly. (Chef's Note: If the batter is too thick, add a little water to thin it out. If the batter is too thin, sift and whisk in a little more flour.)
  • Test 1 piece of cauliflower to check for seasoning. Drain the excess batter and lower the cauliflower bite into the oil. It should bubble slightly and the cauliflower should gradually rise to the surface. Fry until golden brown on all sides and transfer the piece to a kitchen towel. Season with salt and, when cool enough, taste. Season the remaining uncooked cauliflower with salt, if desired, prior to dredging in the batter. Fry the cauliflower in small batches and drain on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt, if desired, and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with the Cilantro-Ginger Sauce and serve immediately.

PASSOVER CAULIFLOWER FRITTERS

A nice change for Passover, reminiscent of Hanukkah latkes. Flour can be easily substituted for the matzah for non-Passover use. Servings and cook time are hard to determine...I've indicated an approximate amount of time for each.
