Ingredients
- 350 gram cauliflower florets, roughly diced
- 75 gram Countdown Gluten-Free Flour
- 4 eggs
- 100 gram feta
- 125 gram mozzarella cheese, grated
- zest of 1 lemon
- handful of flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Countdown Salt, plus ¼ tsp Countdown Pepper, to season
- vegetable oil, for frying
- your favourite relish, to serve
Method
- 1Steam the cauliflower florets in a large covered saucepan with 3cm water for 3 minutes. Drain and return to the dry saucepan and cook briefly, uncovered to drive off the excess moisture. Cool.
- 2Place the flour in a bowl and whisk in the eggs. Add the cheeses, lemon zest and parsley, then gently fold in the cooled cauliflower. Season.
- 3Heat around 1cm deep of oil in a frying pan and spoon the mixture into fritters. Fry each side until crisp, golden and set in the middle. Avoid fiddling with them while they cook.
- 4Serve hot with your favourite relish or chutney. I use Mum's chilli jam.
