Cauliflower vegetable patties

Cauliflower vegetable patties with canned mushrooms are fried until golden and crisp on the outside, with a soft center. Potato, carrot and onion hold the mixture together, while the herbs and spring onion give it a fresh flavor. I make sure the cauliflower florets' stems are soft before mashing them. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 24-32 minutes. Rest: 10 minutes. Total time: 54-62 minutes. Serves: 4. Approximately 270 kcal and 6 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 1000 ml water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 200 g cauliflower florets
- 1/2 red onion (75 g)
- 2 spring onions (30 g)
- 1 medium carrot (60 g)
- 1 medium potato (150 g)
- 120 g drained canned mushrooms (about half a can)
- 15 g parsley
- 1 medium egg (50 g)
- 2 tablespoons flour (16 g)
- 1 teaspoon Vegeta
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 500 ml oil for frying
- 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs for coating
Preparation
1. Put 1000 ml water and 1 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. When the water boils, add the cauliflower and cook for 15-20 minutes, until a fork slides easily into the stem. 2. Drain and mash the cauliflower, then leave it to cool for 10 minutes. 3. Finely chop the red onion and spring onion. Grate the peeled carrot and potato on the small holes of a grater and squeeze them well. Drain and finely chop the mushrooms, then chop the parsley. 4. Mix the vegetables with the parsley, egg, flour, 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs, Vegeta, ginger and sweet paprika. The mixture should hold together when you scoop it up with a spoon. 5. Heat 500 ml oil in a pot. Wet your palms, shape about 12 patties and coat them in 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs. 6. Fry them in 3 batches for 3-4 minutes each, turning them, until golden brown on both sides. 7. Transfer them to paper towels.
Notes
They go well with tomato salad and look a bit like potato patties. I was inspired by Patricia and Timea's idea, and I really liked the combination. They keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. For a gluten-free version, use the same amounts of gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs; the egg is still an allergen, and the Vegeta should be checked. Choose a cauliflower with firm florets of similar size so they soften evenly.
Frequently asked questions
Why do they fall apart when frying?
If they break when you shape them, mix in another 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs and leave the mixture for 5 minutes to absorb them.
Can I replace the cauliflower with broccoli?
Yes, use 200 g broccoli florets and cook for 8-10 minutes, until a fork slides easily into the stem.
How can I tell if the oil is hot enough?
Drop a breadcrumb into the pot. If it sizzles and turns golden in about 30 seconds, you can start frying.
