Recipe type: Appetiser
Serves: 4
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- Pinch oregano
- Pinch garlic powder
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 4 cups cauliflower florets
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Blanch the cauliflower pieces by adding them to a pot of well-salted, boiling water for about 30-45 seconds just until crisp-tender.
- Drain, then place them in cold water for about 30 seconds to cool.
- Dry with paper towel and set aside for a moment.
- In a medium size bowl, combine Breadcrumbs, parmesan, thyme, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and set aside.
- Sift flour in a second bowl, and beat the eggs in a third bowl.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Working in batches, add the blanched cauliflower pieces to the bowl with the flour, and very gently shake to coat the pieces well.
- Next, add the floured pieces to the bowl with the beaten eggs, then add the pieces to the bowl with the parmesan mixture, pressing to coat.
- Add cauliflower to the skillet, 5 or 6 at a time, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve immediately.
