(Buñuelos de Coliflor)
Category: Cauliflower
Sometimes cauliflower is prepared this way, with small pieces of cheese tucked between pieces of cauliflower, but instead, you can crumble a little cheese over the fritters after frying, if you wish. It's customary to serve the cauliflower as a separate course with Ranchera Sauce (see Salsas, Sauces, and Condiments). It is also a wonderful side dish to accompany main-course meat or poultry dishes.
Ranchera Sauce
1 pound cauliflower (1 small), cut into medium florets
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 large eggs, separated
Vegetable oil for frying
1/3 cup crumbled cotija or mild feta cheese
1. Prepare the ranchera sauce. Reserve in the pan off heat. Cook the cauliflower in a large pot of boiling water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and cool at once in cold running water to stop the cooking. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
2. Put the flour in a pie plate and mix in 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. In a deep-fryer or heavy saucepan heat oil over medium heat to a depth of 2 inches until the oil shimmers.
3. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt until stiff. Beat in the yolks, one at a time, until well blended. Dredge the florets in the flour and dip into the egg batter a few at a time. Fry in batches until golden. Drain on paper towels. Reheat the sauce. Serve the fritters right away with ranchera sauce poured over the top and sprinkled with grated cheese.
