Hello friends! How is your mood? I have a great one. Therefore, I am pleased to write a new post for you. And today we will talk about a very interesting and useful vegetable, about cauliflower. She looks very unusual and attracts attention.
However, until recently, I did not even imagine what could be made of such a miracle of nature. Moreover, she believed that this fruit is not tasty. How wrong I was! It turns out that such a cabbage is not just tasty, but insanely tasty. Unless, of course, cook it right.
Experienced housewives probably have many different recipes for dishes with the addition of such a vegetable. And according to the classics of the genre, an omelet is made from it or added to. I liked the option of frying inflorescences in batter. If you have never made such an appetizer, then I advise you to familiarize yourself with the cooking methods described below and make a “delicious” right this weekend.
By the way, hot inflorescences in a crispy crust of dough go well with meat or fish, and are also served as a separate dish. But in the cold version it turns out an excellent crispy snack.
Probably the most famous and popular batter is beaten eggs with flour. However, for this vegetable I liked the following cooking technology with the addition of sour cream. Many children like this option, because it turns out to be a very juicy and crispy dish, and the view is interesting.

Cooking method:
1. Cut a leaf from a head of cabbage and rinse it. Then pour clean water into the pan and immerse the vegetable. Put the container on the fire, and when the water boils, boil the head for 2-4 minutes.
It is necessary that the cabbage softens, but in no case is digested.
3. Now add a little water to the batter and mix the consistency. It should be thicker than the dough on, but thinner than the dough on.
4. When the cabbage is boiled, remove it from boiling water and cool slightly. Then cut into pussies.
6. And immediately put them on a preheated and oiled pan. Fry until golden brown on two or three sides.
You can serve both hot and cold.

They ate cooked cauliflower in batter (batter), it becomes a favorite dish. This small addition gives the fresh vegetable an unusual taste and gives it a crisp. But you need to know how to make batter, so that it emphasizes the virtues of the vegetable, and not spoil them. This article contains several simple recipes for cauliflower batter, which are most in demand among cooks and lovers of fried vegetables in a crispy crust dough.
Step-by-step video recipe
A simple cauliflower batter can be made from milk, flour and eggs. To do this, mix them in the following proportion: for each one egg, one hundred grams of fresh milk is taken, a pinch of salt and flour so that the dough is like liquid sour cream. It is important to mix the ingredients thoroughly so that no small lumps of flour remain.
Such an amount of batter (from one egg) is enough for a 250-300-gram fork of cabbage, and if you plan to cook more dishes, then it is not at all difficult to calculate the proportions.
How to make cauliflower in batter according to the recipe above was very crispy? After all, this dish becomes soft and loses its “zest” if it lies on a plate for a while. A special crunch is given to the batter by breadcrumbs, in which vegetables should be crushed after they are dipped in batter. Such a simple technique will allow cabbage inflorescences in the dough to keep a pleasant and such delicious crunch for a long time. It is important to fry them in deep fat or half immersed in boiling oil. Then the cabbage will be a uniform ruddy color on all sides, without the faded white stripes that occur when frying this vegetable in a pan in a small amount of oil.
If you want crunch and an unusual piquant taste, then after frying the inflorescences of cabbage in the dough, you can put it on a baking sheet, sprinkle each piece with grated hard cheese and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Nobody will refuse such a treat.
You can make cauliflower batter according to the recipe mentioned above, but add one clove of garlic, minced in a mortar or press, and a little (at the tip of a knife) red hot pepper to the batter. To give the batter a nice yellow color, you can add a pinch of turmeric. Such a batter for cauliflower is ideal, as it gives this fresh vegetable a rather rich pungent taste and aromatic crust.
The dosage of acute additives can be adjusted based on your taste preferences. It is worth trying the first piece of the finished dish. If the sharpness in it is not enough, you need to add some more spices to the batter. Note that in hot food, the amount of salt, bitterness and pungency is felt differently than in cooled food. Therefore, it is important not to overdo it with additives, preparing batter for cauliflower.
To give a more spicy aroma to cauliflower, spices can be added to a simple base batter, which will give the dish unusual notes. The only condition is to correctly combine the components so that the resulting gamut of taste shades is harmonious.
For example, you can use the following combinations:
A batter for roasting can be made from beer. It is advisable that these were not residues in the bottle from which all the gas bubbles had already evaporated, but only an uncorked bottle with foam, which would make the dough more lush and crispy. Step-by-step dough preparation:
If the inflorescences are over, but the dough is still left, then you can fry it with small pancakes, which can be a great addition to dinner. You can serve them with sauce or sour cream.
Cheese batter for cauliflower is something magical and completely incomparable with ordinary batter. In this case, it is important to consider that the taste of cabbage will depend on this ingredient. If for cooking we take brackish "Poshekhonsky" or fragrant "Dutch" cheese, the dish can safely take its place even on the festive table. But usually it is prepared for a family dinner. To make a batter with cheese, you need to take:
Grate cheese, beat eggs with milk, add flour to them, stir everything thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained. At the very end, add cheese and mix again. This amount of dough should be enough for a whole kilogram of vegetable. Cauliflower in cheese batter is better to eat immediately after cooking. Then the taste and appearance of the dish are more attractive.
How to prepare a batter for cauliflower, if the cheese is not enough, and a simple recipe does not attract at all or is already tired? You can combine the two batter recipes together to get a new version of this dish. To do this, beat two eggs with two tablespoons of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt, add 100 ml of fresh beer and mix so that the bubbles are evenly distributed by weight.
Then add 80 grams of flour to the dough, mix until smooth, then pour 80 grams of grated hard cheese on a fine grater. Optionally, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the dough to give the dish an exotic flavor that will surely appeal to lovers of vegetables in the dough. It will not be superfluous to notice that processed cheese is not suitable for such a dish, because it is too soft. With it, the batter loses its strength during heat treatment. The same remark applies to all soft cheeses.
Cauliflower batter with mayonnaise is also easy to prepare. This sauce has a spicy taste that is passed to the dough. Moreover, it is in such a batter that it is good to fry not only cauliflower, but also broccoli, Brussels sprouts, even onion rings. For cooking, you need to prepare the following ingredients:
The dough is kneaded in the traditional way: the eggs are slightly beaten with a fork in a deep bowl, spices and spices are added, and then mayonnaise. The whole mass is thoroughly mixed and sifted flour is added in the process. Beat the dough well until smooth, so that no small lumps of flour are left in it.
A batter with ketchup is prepared according to a similar principle. In this case, milk is excluded from the composition of the ingredients.
To prepare a delicious batter for cauliflower without the use of animal products for vegetarians is not a problem, because cauliflower is a special treat for them. Some people simply replace eggs and milk with water, but then such a fresh batter is not very pleasing in taste. It’s better to do this:
There are many recipes for making batter, in which you can fry various vegetables. Each housewife has her own “secret” ingredients, with the help of which such food becomes unusually tasty. However, preparing an excellent batter for frying cauliflower is only half the battle. If the inflorescences are not properly fried, even the best dough will not help to avoid disappointment.
