Cauliflower Fritters

By bossenga

Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower (about 2 1/4 pounds), trimmed and chopped
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 10-ounce bag salad greens
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Steam the cauliflower until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, mash and let cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and egg, season with salt and pepper and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Roll 1/4 cupfuls into balls, then flatten into patties, to make a total of 12 to 14. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the patties until golden-brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Serve with the salad greens tossed in olive oil and the lemon juice.
