What a great way to enjoy cauliflower! Our Cauliflower Pancakes will have your gang asking for second helpings of their veggies!

What You'll Need

1 large head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets
1 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, plus extra if needed
1 large onion, finely chopped
6 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

Place cauliflower in a large saucepan and add just enough water to cover; add 1 teaspoon salt to the water. Bring water to a boil over high heat and cook, uncovered, 20 to 25 minutes, or until cauliflower is very tender. Using a colander, thoroughly drain the water from the cauliflower.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-low heat and saute onion 10 minutes, or until golden brown; remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, with a potato masher or a fork, mash cauliflower until only small pieces remain. Add bread crumbs, eggs, sauteed onion, the garlic powder, remaining salt, and the pepper; mix well.
In a large skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the cauliflower mixture in your hand and press flat to form a pancake about 1/2 inch thick. Place in the hot oil, cooking 5 to 7 pancakes at a time. Cook 6 minutes or until brown on both sides, turning halfway through the cooking, adding more oil as necessary.
Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately or keep in a warm oven until ready to serve.

I love cauliflower but I'm the only 1, so I reduced the amount and I used frozen, I also substituted panko for bread crumbs and added a tad of butter to this while hot so it melted into mix. I also added some fresh grated cheese and used chopped garlic as I love garlic also. With my additions it tasted good, I think it would have been a little nland w/o the butter but thats my opinion n I will make again.
