Cauliflower in Cheese Batter

This delicious dish — a treasure trove of vitamins — will be the star of your table, thanks to its one-of-a-kind flavor and how easy it is to eat. It fits any gathering and goes with any side.

When cauliflower season rolls around, I can't resist making this. Fried this way, it reminds me of fried mushrooms — it looks so pretty on the plate and smells so good that everyone should taste it at least once. I never used to know you could cook it as little florets, and not just in soup. A neighbor taught me: she invited me over and served it, and ever since I've grown cauliflower in my own garden and fry the first of the crop in batter.
