Fried cauliflower

Serves 2

Cauliflower heads can be roasted, grilled, boiled, fried, steamed, pickled, or eaten raw.

Ingredients:

1⁄2 a head cauliflower
2 eggs
A small handful of chopped fresh parsley and coriander Salt and pepper, to taste
Sunflower oil, for frying

Method:

Trim the leaves from the cauliflower and then cut into large pieces. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with parsley, coriander, salt, and pepper. Dip the cauliflower into the egg mixture until thoroughly covered. Pour a generous amount of sunflower oil into a pan and—only once it’s very hot—add the cauliflower. Fry on each side until browned, about 15 minutes total. Remove from heat and set on a paper towel to sop up any excess oil. Best served warm sprinkled with additional parsley and coriander.

Notes:

• Try this with courgette, carrots, or sweet potato as a Moroccan twist on tempura.
