Breaded Cauliflower
We were craving for a schnitzel but didn’t want to eat anymore meat, so decided to use cauliflower than meat.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Serving: 4
Ingredients:
1 large cauliflower
45g cornflour, plus ½ tsp extra mixed with 50ml cold water
1/4 tsp paprika
2 eggs
100g dried breadcrumbs
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Grated zest and juice ½ lemon, plus wedges to serve (optional)
Preiselbeeren or cranberry sauce (optional)
Instructions:
Remove the cauliflower leaves, Trim the stalk but keep it intake. Cut the cauliflower head into 4 thick slices through the stalk so it holds each slice together. Heat the oven to 350F/180C.
Mix the 45g cornflour, 1/4 tsp of the paprika and salt and pepper in a wide shallow bowl, beat the eggs in a separate wide shallow bowl and put the breadcrumbs in a third. Dust each cauliflower slice in the flour mixture, shake off the excess, then coat in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, gently patting on the crumbs to cover.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, Fry the cauliflower slices in the same pan for 1-2 minutes on each side to brown, then transfer to a foil-lined baking tray. Roast for 12-15 minutes until tender.
