Cauliflower Patties

We love Broccoli Patties, Potato Patties, Onion Patties and Cauliflower Patties.
I had previously written a recipe for Cauliflower Patties and when I made them, they didn't turn out like I thought they would. I learned from the mistakes and here's the new recipe.
In the first one I talked about starting with a Head of Cauliflower and it went from there.
The recipe had you trim the florets, boil them and then cut them into small pieces.
The pieces should have been really tiny, like riced. Mine were too big even after cutting into "small" pieces. It only required 4 cups and there was so much more left so here's my new, adapted recipe using 4 Cups of Riced Cauliflower that's purchased. I deleted that other recipe from the Blog.
I also made a homemade Tzatziki Sauce to serve with them and the recipe is included here.

I made homemade Tzatziki Sauce to serve with the Patties.

Make sure you have 4 Cups.
You don't need to Cook it.
Just thaw completely if you purchase it frozen.

Here's what you'll need:
A Non Stick Skillet


4 C Riced Cauliflower
2 Large Eggs, whisked.
1/2 C Flour
2 Green Onions, finely diced.
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced.
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Enough Vegetable Oil for frying.

In a Large Mixing Bowl:
Cauliflower
Eggs
Flour
Onion
Garlic
Salt
Pepper
Stir to combine well.

In a Skillet on Medium High:
Oil, until Hot.

Spoon about 3 TBS of the Mixture for each Patty and drop it into the Oil, flatten slightly.
Fry until each side is Golden Brown.

Transfer them to Paper Towels to absorb some of the Oil.

Serve Hot with Tzatziki Sauce.


We love this with Pita Chips, Pita Bread, Stuffed Grape Leaves and so much more. I prefer to make it myself, I can control the taste and texture.
