Ингредиенты
Cabbage – 500 g
Water for cooking – 1 l
Chicken egg – 2 pcs.
Salt - to taste
Ground black pepper - to taste
Breadcrumbs (fine) – 150 g
Dried garlic – 1 tsp.
Ground paprika – 1 tsp.
Mixture of dried Italian herbs – 1 tsp.
Vegetable oil - for frying
Greens – 2-3 pinches (optional)
Рецепт
1. Remove the top leaves from the cauliflower, clean it of darkened inflorescences and rinse under running water. Cut a large head of cabbage in half or into 4 parts. Leave the small head of cabbage whole. Boil water in a fairly deep saucepan, add salt in such an amount that the water turns out slightly salted to your taste. Standard proportion: 1 liter of water per 1 tbsp. salt, but everyone's tastes are different. Place the cabbage in boiling salted water and cook large pieces of cabbage for 5-6 minutes, a whole head of cabbage for 8 minutes. During cooking, the cabbage should be half cooked, i.e. become softer, but at the same time the inflorescences should retain their shape and not fall apart.
2. Place boiled cauliflower in cold water for about 1 minute to stop the cooking process and cool it.
3. Remove the cauliflower from the water, dry it and separate the head into small florets (1-2 bite size).
4. Break the chicken eggs into a deep plate or bowl. Add a little salt and pepper to taste and mix everything well.
5. In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs with seasonings - dried garlic, ground paprika and a mixture of dried Italian herbs. In order for the breading to adhere well to the cabbage inflorescences, it must be very fine. Large breadcrumbs can be ground in advance in a blender or coffee grinder.
6. First dip each cabbage floret into a bowl with beaten eggs, and then roll in a mixture of breadcrumbs and seasonings.
7. Place the inflorescences in a frying pan with heated sunflower oil and fry the cabbage on all sides over medium heat until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
8. Place the roasted cauliflower on a napkin or kitchen towel for a few seconds. The napkin will absorb excess oil.
9. Transfer the finished cauliflower to a plate, sprinkle with finely chopped herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
10. Cauliflower in breadcrumbs is ready. Enjoy your meal!
