breaded cauliflower recipe with step by step pictures

Again, my mother gets the credit for this delicious dish.

My beloved sweet Mom.

It has been a mainstay in our family ever since I can remember.

We love to eat it as a side dish but also as a light main dish served with mashed potatoes or rice.

It’s impressive how well a cauliflower can taste when nicely seasoned, breaded and fried.

This is finger-licking good, my friends!

This is a cauliflower.

I am here to tell you all the important things, you know.

Despite their rather impenetrable-seeming appearance, cauliflowers are actually pretty easy to break down into bite-sized florets.

Here’s how I do it:

1. First, remove the green leaves and then, using a knife, remove the central stem, too.

Now your cauliflower is ready to be easily cut into individual florets.

2. With your fingers, or using a knife if you want to, pull the florets apart.

In this recipe, bigger florets work better.

3. Rinse the florets under cold running water.
4. Then place them into a larger pot and add about 2 teaspoons of salt.

5. Pour in water – we need just enough to cover all the florets.

6. Cover the pot and place it over medium heat.
7. Bring to boil and let cook for about 15 minutes…

… or until tender when poked with a fork.

But not too tender. The florets should still be firm enough to hold the shape and shouldn’t fall apart. If they get too tender then it’s hard to work with them later.

8. When the florets are cooked drain them and set aside.
9. Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) of vegetable oil into a larger frying pan and preheat the oil over medium-low heat.

10. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs lightly with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

11. Working with one floret at a time, coat it with the egg.

12. Then place the breadcrumbs in another bowl and roll the egg-covered floret in the breadcrumbs until nicely coated.

13. Repeat this process with all the remaining florets.

14. In batches, put the cauliflower in the preheated pan and fry it. Turn the florets so that they get golden-brown on all sides.

This process takes about 5 minutes.

Aren’t these just wonderful?

Let me introduce these delicious ingredients that have been captured bathing in the morning sun.

And they are ready and eager to turn into…

… the most yummilicious and soul-warming soup ever invented.

And here we have our ingredients introducing themselves to you in a written form.

So kind of them.

In case you’d also like to have the delightful experience of tasting this soup, just go on and follow these easy steps…

1. Chop the onion finely.

Chop, chop, chop.

2. Cut the carrots into small even dices.

3. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into halves.

4. Now break it into individual florets.

Rinse the florets under running water and then slice them into smaller pieces – you can slice one floret into 2 or 3 pieces (depending on what mood you are in).
