If you’re craving a delicious and unique dish to elevate your Spanish-inspired culinary adventures, look no further than this mouthwatering recipe for “Coliflor Rebozada” – Battered Cauliflower. This delightful dish combines the crispiness of the battered cauliflower with flavorful Spanish spices, creating a perfect balance of textures and tastes that are sure to impress your friends and family.
Ingredients:
– 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
– 1 cup of all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon of onion powder
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
– 1 cup of milk (or plant-based milk for a vegan option)
– Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This flavorful mixture will be the batter for the cauliflower. Set it aside.
2. Pour the milk into a separate bowl. Dip each cauliflower floret into the milk, ensuring it is well coated.
3. Next, dredge the milk-coated cauliflower florets in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to cover them completely. The flour coating will give your cauliflower a crispy and flavorful crust when fried.
4. In a large skillet, heat about an inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is hot enough for frying, drop a small amount of the batter into the oil – if it sizzles and floats to the surface, the oil is ready.
5. Carefully place the battered cauliflower florets into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the cauliflower in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Once the cauliflower is cooked to perfection, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. Serve your Coliflor Rebozada hot and fresh, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of your favorite dipping sauce. This Spanish-inspired dish is perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or even a unique main course that will impress everyone at the table.
