I wasn't
sure what to expect with this recipe, but honestly I loved them. They are very
light and airy. The flavor is mild, and has a nice subtle taste of cauliflower.
The cauliflower cooks up very well. I was afraid it would be
crunchy. As long as you make sure the fritters get golden brown and you nicely
chop the cauliflower you won’t have that problem.
A few of the upscale
restaurants in Houston serve these as appetizers, and let me tell you they go
for a pretty penny!! They also go nicely with a good Aioli sauce. I will post a
recipe for the one I served with these tomorrow. Thank you so much for this
recipe Sara, it was wonderful.
