About Fried Cauliflower
This profile follows the Czech classic smažený květák: cauliflower florets in the traditional three-stage flour, egg and breadcrumb coating.
The flavour is mild and vegetal inside, with savoury egg and toasted bread notes from the crust.
The florets arrive irregular and golden, with a crisp shell around a tender, pale centre. Boiled potatoes and tartar sauce are common accompaniments but are not part of this profile.
