Feeding your child with healthy vegetables is sometimes an impossible task. For some reason, cauliflower is especially disliked by kids, and adolescents too. But if you cook it in batter, cauliflower will turn from “enemy number 1” into a confident competitor to such beloved and unhealthy foods as fries, chips and crackers.
It is necessary
-
- 0.5 kilograms of cauliflower
- Vegetable oil
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup liquid (milk, cream
- sparkling water, beer)
- 1 large chicken egg
- Salt
- pepper
- 100 grams of hard cheese
- grated
Instructions
Step 1
Wash the cauliflower. Disassemble into inflorescences.
Now you can boil the cabbage until half cooked or pour boiling water over it. It all depends on what taste your household is used to. Boiled it will be softer, scalded it will remain crispy.
Step 2
It is better to prepare the batter in advance and let it stand for an hour. What liquid to choose for batter is a matter of taste. The batter on mineral water or beer will be more fluffy, on milk and cream it will be more tender.
Do not be afraid that the beer batter will retain its "degree", because during heat treatment, frying, alcohol will evaporate from the dough.
Step 3
Some cooks recommend using only whipped egg white for batter. Such batter will be more lush. If you decide on a "protein batter", then the whipped egg whites should be added to the dough after it has spread.
Step 4
For an ordinary batter, beat an egg with spices, add liquid and add flour in a thin stream. Whisk again and set aside. Add finely grated cheese.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 175 degrees Celsius. Oil should be poured into the pan so that several whole cabbage inflorescences can be immersed in it.
Step 6
Dip the cauliflower into the dough. Make sure the batter fills in all the empty spaces between the flowers and the stem.
Step 7
Saute the cabbage for five minutes, not in large batches.
Use a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined dish to remove excess grease. If pieces of batter remain in the oil, remove them with a slotted spoon before loading the next batch.
Step 8
Serve hot, sprinkled with dill or parsley.
