Broccoli fried on eggs in batter

Battered Fried Broccoli

A really tasty, fragrant dish made from a wholesome vegetable! Plenty has been said about how good vegetable dishes are for you, but it's worth repeating — especially now, heading into winter, when any veggie dish is a welcome reminder of warm summer days. Today it's a popular favorite: broccoli fried in batter. I'm sure every home cook has more than one way to make it, but here's mine.

Cauliflower and broccoli can be cooked all sorts of ways — braised or fried — but they're especially good in batter. Break the broccoli into small florets and boil them in salted (and, if you like, peppered) water. Then drain them in a colander to get rid of the extra liquid. While the broccoli boils, make the batter: stir the kefir together with the egg, add salt and baking soda (baking powder works too), and gradually work in the flour. The batter should end up looking like pancake batter. Dip the cooked florets one at a time into the batter and drop them straight into the hot oil. And by the way — you can swap the kefir for beer or sour cream.
