Cauliflower Patty

----------
Just thought I would pass this along, if anyone is interested in trying
it.

I usually just grab a hand full of Ground Beef, shape it into a patty,
and cook it. Taste, texture, and smell are identical to a hamburger...
(yes, I was being facitious)

What does this have to do with making a cauliflower patty?

Nothing. And, it's not a good idea to make fun of somebody and then show how
smart you think you are by misspelling a word in the reply....facetious.

Well, I don't think he was tyring to make fun of me as much as make a joke
in general. It's not a big deal.

But I noticed the spelling error, too! LOL!

It is a GOOD recipe for cauliflower, though, and if anyone wants to go to
the trouble to make it, the taste rewards are pretty good. Calories are
probably high, so again this is not something you would want to eat every
day, but I think it is a fair base recipe. I did mention it to a chef who
owns a restaurant here in Victoria, Texas, but he immediately started
talking about herbs like ginger root to improve it. He did like the idea,
though.

Yeah, it sounds promising. I'll try it, I like cauliflower straight up, but
this might be good for a change. I can't imagine ginger root here, maybe
Italian or mideastern flavors would be better.

I have a recipe for zucchini burgers that is pretty good. If I find it, I'll
post it for you.

zucchini pancakes with red bell pepper

The original recipe uses flour, like a pancake batter. I haven't tried this,
but I'm substituting an egg.

1 1/4 cups shredded zucchini (about 1/2 lb)
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
2 tbsp grated Parmesan
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tsp dried basil
1-2 eggs

Combine and cook in olive oil.

I left out flour, baking powder, oil, baking soda and salt.

I might add some garlic .

x-no-archive: yes

Thanks! I'd like to try this. Sounds yummy. 🙂

I don't know if this is very different from anything posted before, but I
couldn't find anything through Google that was much like it, so I thought I
would post it in case anyone would like to try it. It is similar to the
"fauxtatoes" recipe that has floated around here.

I took a pound of frozen cauliflower florets, punched some holes in the end
of the bag with a fork, and microwaved them for about twelve minutes on high
in a microwave-safe dish. I drained the water from the holes in the bag,
and emptied the cooked cauliflower florets into a mixing bowl.

I added about 2 oz cream cheese, two eggs, a tablespoon of butter,. about
1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, fresh ground pepper and garlic powder, and mixed
it with a hand mixer (I guess a food processor, or if you're patient, a fork
would do the same). I refrigerated it for a few hours and let it "set" to a
fairly firm mixture, and then took out a handfull and made a flat patty and
fired it in hot canola oil (this makes several patties). This tasted pretty
good by itself, but I also used it as a "base" for a cheeseburger, and it
was good.

Just thought I would pass this along, if anyone is interested in trying it.

Probably more a typo than a spelling error

This sounds like a keeper, thanks! I'll give it a try when I get back to
the store for more zucchini!
