Egyptian Cauliflower Fritters in Tomato Sauce

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Wash, separate into florets, boil, dip in batter, and deep-fry a cauliflower, as directed in preceding recipe. Both the egg-and-flour and the batter methods are suitable.

   Step 2

   Prepare a tomato sauce in a large saucepan. Fry 2 garlic cloves in about 2 tablespoons oil until golden. Add 3–4 tablespoons tomato paste diluted in cup water, 3 tablespoons chopped parsley, and salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for 10–15 minutes.

   Step 3

   Drain the deep-fried florets, and drop them into the tomato sauce. Simmer for about 25 minutes, until the cauliflower is very soft and the sauce is much reduced.
