Prep time
15 mins
Ingredients
- Cauliflower: 1 large cauliflower, cut into small florets
- Sunflower Oil: sunflower oil, for deep-frying
- Plain Flour: 85g plain flour
- Cornflour: 1 tbsp cornflour
- Sparkling Water: 125ml sparkling water
- Coriander Seed: 1/2 tsp coriander seeds, ground
- Flat Leaf Parsley: 1 large bunch of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- Garlic Clove: 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- Lemon: zest and juice 1 lemon
- Caper: 1 tbsp small capers
- Olive Oil: 3 tbsp olive oil
Directions
- Whisk batter ingredients together, then let it rest while you make the dipping sauce. Mix sauce ingredients together and set aside. Cook cauliflower in boiling salted water for 2 mins, then drain and refresh with cold water.
- Heat about 10cm depth vegetable oil in a high-sided pan. Once oil is hot, test with a small bit of bread - if it turns golden in 30 secs, it's ready.
- Dip the dry cauliflower into batter, shake off any excess and place in the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden, about 3 mins, then remove to a plate lined with kitchen paper. To keep warm, keep the florets in a low oven. Once all the cauliflower is fried, season with sea salt and serve with the sauce.
