½ cup parsley
2 garlic cloves minced
Zest of half a lemon

1. Cut the cauliflower into large
pieces, add them to a large pot
with boiling water. Cook until the

minutes.
2. Drain the cauliflower completely
and let it cool.
3. Once cooled, mash the cauliflower
with a fork. Add the spices, herbs
and cheese, combine.

it's warm enough, shallow fry each
fritter for about 3 minutes on each
side until golden.
