Friday Foodday

Hey lovebugs! Happy Friday to you. Any plans for this weekend? I'm dogsitting so I will be getting my extra walks in around DC in this heat!


Here are some of my fave recipes this week.


Cauliflower Fritters
c/o Skinny Taste

Ingredients

• 4 cups steamed cauliflower (roughly chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup Pecorino Romano
• 1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup hot water
• salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Directions

In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, flour, garlic, eggs, grated cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Add water so that batter becomes slightly more dense than pancake batter.

On medium-low heat, add 1 tbsp of oil in a 10 inch skillet coating bottom of the pan.Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to form fritters. You can fit 4 fritters at a time. Cook until golden brown, turn and cook another few minutes. Add a little more oil to the pan, and repeat with the remaining batter.

Makes 24 fritters.
