Breaded Cauliflower

Ingredients:

• 1 medium head cauliflower
• 3 eggs
• salt
• 150grams breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Preparation:

• First, remove the green leaves and then, using a knife, remove the central stem, too.
• With your fingers, or using a knife if you want to,  pull the florets apart. In this recipe, bigger florets work better.
• Rinse the florets under cold running water.
  Then place them into a larger pot and add about 2 teaspoons of salt.
• Pour in water – we need just enough to cover all the florets.
• Cover the pot and place it over medium heat.
  Bring to boil and let cook for about 15 minutes
• When the florets are cooked drain them and set aside.
  Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) of vegetable oil into a larger frying pan and preheat the oil over medium-low heat.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs lightly with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
• Working with one floret at a time, coat it with the egg.
• Then place the breadcrumbs in another bowl and roll the egg-covered floret in the breadcrumbs until nicely coated.  
• Repeat this process with all the remaining florets.
• In batches, put the cauliflower in the preheated pan and fry it. Turn the florets so that they get golden-brown on all sides.
