in #cookwithus6 years ago (edited)

Yesterday I was checking out a few blogs from steemians who had commented on my recent posts and suddenly I came across this new exciting @cookwithus contest that was resteemed by one of the 'Cook With Us' team- @chefsteve! So thank you for that! :) (thats what I love about this platform! Dig in a bit deeper and you find/learn new fun and exciting things :))

The Cook with Us team (@chefsteve, @pandamama, and @offoodandart) have recently launched a new contest, starting on March 6th with a different theme for each of the upcoming 4 weeks. So good luck to everyone and lets enjoy!

This 1st weeks contest theme: Favorite Family Meal (can be either a starter/main course/dessert) and for this, my entry is:

CAULIFLOWER FRITTERS by @cooknbake!

When I was a kid, my brothers and I weren't big fan of veggies at all, so my mom used to secretly put them in our food while disguising them into something less 'veggie looking!'. One of her ways to get us to eat cauliflower was turning them fritters:) and it worked! We've been eating them ALOT, especially on Fridays, right after school- they would be sitting there on the counter, just waiting to be eaten :)

They are great for a starter or even a refreshing meal, since they are DELICIOUS with yogurt and tomato/cucumber on the side!

A few years ago I went to this restaurant which served cauliflower fritters as a starter and they reminded me so much of my childhood! So I went home and tried to recapture that delicious taste in my kitchen, with a few little twists..
Since then, I've been making them for my family as well :)
Here's the recipe and step by step instructions:

Hope you enjoy!!

Nice kitchen tutorial. I would try this out

Im happy to hear you liked it @meritigbinu! Please tell me how it turned out if you get a chance to try them out:))
Thanks for your comment🤗🤗

Very good recipe...One question: Is there a solution if I don't eat eggs to put something else ?

Hi @tatjanastan, thats a great question ☺however, Ive never tried them without the eggs. its usually what helps it stick together BUT Ive tried other recipes for fritters without eggs and they turned out perfect as well.
Give it a try without the eggs and see how it goes! Ill be happy to know how it went if you do! 🤗

So delicious looking! I love fritters too! I make a similar version of these with zucchini. Super yummy and super healthy (I don't deep fry them). I'm definitely going to try with cauliflower.

Ooohh... im sure the zucchini is great! Maybe even an idea for one of your next posts 😉 !
Im not a big fan of deep frying either but once in a while....
Never tried baking them, I wonder how itll turn out... 🤔 thanks for the idea and great comment @girlinchief🤗!

A beautifully presented post with a delicious looking recipe @cooknbake I think the goats cheese would make all the diference to the flavour of the fritters and I love the yoghurt dip, cucumber and tomatoes to complete the dish which can be a meal on its own. Sharing with pleasure .

Awww thank you for your great comment and support as always @trudeehunter! Goat cheeze gives it a nice little twist to its taste!
I usually dont like eating goat cheeze but here the taste blends in perfectly!
I really appreciate the share! ❤ thank you
