Servings: makes 24 • Size: 2 fritters 4 oz • Time: 25 minutes • Calories: 137 • Points: 2.5

•4 cups raw cauliflower (1 large or 2 small)
•2 cloves garlic, crushed
•1 cup whole wheat flour
•2 eggs
•1/2 cup Pecorino Romano
•1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
•1/4 cup hot water
•salt and pepper
•1/4 cup olive oil

Steam cauliflower, then chop into small pieces. In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, flour, garlic, eggs, grated cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Add water so that batter becomes slightly more dense than pancake batter. On medium-low heat, add 1 tbsp of oil in a 10 inch skillet coating bottom of the pan. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to form fritters. You can fit 4 fritters at a time. Cook until golden brown, turn and cook another few minutes. Add a little more oil to the pan, and repeat with the remaining batter.
