Fried Cauliflower With Caper Aioli image

This is from The Love Chef. It is low in carbs but not anything else. We made this for a test tasting and it was awesome BUT we can't use it - too many changes & substitutions for a regular menu but once in awhile it is wonderful!

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (not that bottled stuff!)
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
salt
fresh ground black pepper
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
extra virgin olive oil (for frying)
soy flour, for dusting
1 large head cauliflower, cored and cut into florets

  • To make the aioli, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, and stir well to combine.
  • Set aside.
  • CAULIFLOWER:.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat enough Extra Virgin Olive Oil to measure a depth of 2 inches to 350ยบ F.
  • Put the soy flour, sprinkled with crushed red pepper flakes, if using, in a medium bowl and add a handful or two of the cauliflower florets.
  • Toss to dust the cauliflower, then transfer to a sieve set over the bowl of soy flour.
  • Shake off excess, letting it fall into the bowl.
  • Dip the pieces in the beaten egg, and fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to paper towels to drain, and keep warm while you fry the remaining pieces.
  • When you take the cauliflower out after frying, season it with salt and pepper and serve immediately with the aioli for dipping.
