Saturday Recipe

This recipe landed in my inbox this week and I followed up the links to find a blog called Damn Delicious. I also found a page from Zoomer magazine with quite a few different cauliflower recipes most of which looked delicious. I chose this one to share today. I don’t have a cauliflower in the fridge at the moment, I will have to remedy that.


Parmesan Cauliflower Bites
 
Yield 4 servings


Crisp, crunchy cauliflower bites that even the pickiest of eaters will love - perfect as an appetizer or after school snack!
Ingredients

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup Panko*
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Emeril's Essence Creole Seasoning
• 4 cups cauliflower florets
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten

Instructions

• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
• In a large bowl, combine Panko, Parmesan and Emeril's Essence; set aside.
• Working in batches, dredge cauliflower in flour, dip into eggs, then dredge in Panko mixture, pressing to coat.
• Add cauliflower to the skillet, 5 or 6 at a time, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Serve immediately.

Notes
*Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.
