Recipe for butter-fried cauliflower
Delicious, flavorful butter-fried cauliflower is a fantastic side dish on the dinner table! We chose it as an alternative to potatoes, and it worked perfectly. Raw cauliflower doesn’t have an amazing taste on its own, but as soon as it’s fried, things start to happen! The flavor becomes delicious and nutty, and maybe that’s why it’s also a popular vegetable among vegetarians, as it adds a little extra depth to dishes where meat is understandably absent. Right now, it’s cauliflower season, but cauliflower isn’t always equally popular among everyone. This is likely because cauliflower easily becomes a bit overcooked, a bit too soft, and a bit mushy. Haven’t we all, at some point, been subjected to eating an overcooked vegetable mix of broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots? When cooked correctly, however, cauliflower can be absolutely amazing, and in this recipe, the cauliflower got a lovely fried exterior while still retaining a bit of “resistance” when biting through the florets. Next time, I will try adding some nuts, either hazelnuts or almonds, to get a bit of crunch in there. This recipe was for two adults and a 3-year-old child.If you are looking for new inspiration in your daily meals, try a meal kit from our sponsor Hello Fresh.
