Cauliflower Fritters

Ingredients

12 oz. cauliflower florets

1/4 cup onion, diced

4 tbsp. whole wheat flour (or flaxseed meal for low carb)

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1/2 cup reduced fat shredded cheese

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2 tsp. olive oil

Instructions

1. Cook the cauliflower until it is tender. You can boil it, microwave it, or steam it.

2. Mash the cauliflower with a potato masher (or the back of a fork) and drain out any excess moisture. The more moisture there is the harder it will be to form the fritters so it is extremely important to squeeze out any excess moisture with a paper towel or cloth.

3. Mix in the onion, flour (or flaxseed), garlic, salt, pepper, cheese, and eggs. If mixture isn’t holding together well, refrigerate for 15 minutes or add more flour/flaxseed.

4. Heat 1 tsp. of olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Add 1/4 cup cauliflower mixture and press down with the back of a spoon to form the fritter. Cook for 3-4 minutes until nicely browned and flip over. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. In my skillet, I cooked 4 fritters at a time, adding another 1 tsp. of olive oil for the second batch.
