YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Jo Pratt’ s popcorn cauliflower bites By You Magazine - August 30, 2020 These popcorn cauliflower bites make a brilliant party food snack, or a starter when entertaining. To avoid last-minute rushing, coat the cauliflower florets in the crumbs and keep chilled, in a single layer on a tray. Then all you need to do is fry them. Malou Burger TIME TAKEN: 30 MINUTES SERVES 8 AS A SNACK 200g chickpea (gram) flour or plain flour 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp garlic salt 350ml milk of choice 1 cauliflower, broken into bitesize florets 150g panko breadcrumbs sunflower oil, for frying garlic mayonnaise, to serve 1. Whisk together the flour, paprika, oregano, garlic salt and milk until you have a smooth batter. 2. Dip the cauliflower florets in the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then roll them in the breadcrumbs to evenly coat. 3. Fill a wok or deep frying pan with 5cm sunflower oil and place over a medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, working in a few batches, carefully add the cauliflower florets. They should start to instantly sizzle when hitting the hot oil. 4. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until nicely golden and crisp then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. 5. Serve with the garlic mayonnaise to dip into. FLEXIBLE Gluten-free Use gluten-free breadcrumbs if you can get them; alternatively, swap the crumbs for polenta or fine cornmeal. Upgrade There are plenty of other dipping options apart from the garlic mayonnaise. A favourite of mine is combining equal quantities of a creamy blue cheese, such as dolcelatte, with sour cream or crème fraîche and a handful of snipped chives. Or, a close second, is mixing mayonnaise with chipotle and lime juice.
