Crumbed Cauliflower
This makes a delicious accompaniment at barbeques or with roasts. It's an easy recipe to get kids involved with, as they can help with much of the preparation, but care and supervision is of course needed for the cooking processes.
Ingredients
1 head of cauliflower, trimmed into florets
4 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
Plain Flour
3 cups Bread crumbs
Canola oil
Method
Break the raw cauliflower up into medium florets
Boil in salted water until tender, though not soft and floppy
Remove the boiling water (with mum / dads help) and cool the cauliflower on a board or plate to cool
NOTE: You should be able to handle the cauliflower and not have it break apart in your fingers once cooked.
Place the 4 eggs in a bowl with the 3 tablespoons of milk and whisk until well combined and liquid.
On a shallow tray place say 1 cup Plain flour and on another tray place 3 cups of bread crumbs
Then the process is:
Take the cauliflower now cooled in your fingers
Flour it
Egg wash it
Crumb it
Place on another tray ready for cooking with paper towel in the tray so it doesn't peel off the crumbs
Cooking the cauliflower:
Add a good 2 cm of canola oil to a non-stick pan
Heat evenly (not too hot / medium) the crumb should sizzle at first and not burn, but brown the crumb
About half way through you may need to change the oil because the crumbs are burning on the bottom
Drain on paper towel
Place in the oven until you are ready to serve (foil on top)
YUM!
