Hi all,

For those cauliflower lovers out there who want to try something new,
here's a receipe for what should be a fairly BG friendly dish my man
and I had for lunch today. If you like Middle Eastern flavors, you
will like this. You really can't mess it up, trust me, I'm a lousy
cook. And I think you could experiment with the ingredients and
spices to add what you like best. I'm going to try adding grated
zucchini along with the cauliflower once my garden starts producing
and serve it with chopped tomato and cucumber chutney.


Cauliflower Fritters

2 cups cauliflower florets
1/2 cup chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour
1/4 cup cilantro (parsley is a good sub if you are one who perceives
cilantro as soapy tasting)
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup onion (or more if you like it)
1 egg
Spice mix: salt, curry, cumin, cinnamon, tumeric (I use a 1/2
teaspoon of each). You can also add dried chili, if you like it spicy
and hot.

Process or mince the wet ingredients, except the cauliflower. Cook
the califlower until very tender, drain, and beat it into the batter
to break up the florets. Add chickpea flour until you get it to a
consistency to form patties.

Drop by spoon into a hot skillet with olive oil and fry about 3-4
minutes a side, being careful not to let them touch. Cook themn in
batches and drain on paper towels. They are good hot or cold, don't
know about as leftovers because we scarfed them all up. I made a
sauce for them with goat yogurt, mint, cilantro, grated ginger, lime
juice and chili.
