CAULIFLOWER FRITTERS WITH HERBED YOGHURT DRESSING

This was a delicious dinner. Very simple and low calorie. The fritters were made using the Thermomix, but it could be easily done with a food processor. See the instructions for this below. The addition of the salad made it even better ... I thought it was a fabulous vegetarian dinner!

Yogurt dressing
300 g of Greek yogurt
1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 tsp fresh sage, finely chopped

Yogurt dressing
Place Greek yogurt, thyme, sage, rosemary, garlic, mayonnaise, salt and pepper in mixing bowl, mix 10 sec / speed 6. Transfer to a bowl and reserve until use. 

** If you don't have a Thermomix, you can add all ingredients into a food processor or hand held blender and mix well.

Cauliflower fritters 

Place cauliflower and onion in mixing bowl and chop 15 sec / speed 4.
Add eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and mix 10 sec / reverse / speed 3. Transfer to a bowl and mix with the help of the spatula.

** Put cauliflower and onion into a food processor and blitz a few times until it has the consistency or big rice grains. Transfer into a big bowl and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well.

Heat enough oil to fry in a non-stick fry pan, add about 2 Tbsp batter for each fritter and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
Transfer the fried fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil.
