Cajun-Fried Cauliflower
- 1 head cauliflower
- 3 ounces crab boil seasoning (net-bag kind)
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 4 eggs (well beaten)
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 4 cups dry breadcrumbs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cajun seasoning (Tony Chachere's or Emeril's Essence)
- 24 ounces cooking oil
- Wash head of cauliflower.
- Place cauliflower in a large pot with enough water to cover.
- Add the bag of crab-boil, and the salt to the water.
- Bring to a boil; cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until cauliflower becomes "fork tender".
- When cauliflower becomes tender, remove from heat and allow cauliflower to "soak" in the spice for about 3-5 minutes (the longer it soaks, the spicier it gets).
- Remove cauliflower from the water and drain.
- Cut cauliflower into florets.
- Place breadcrumbs in a large bowl and mix in the Cajun seasoning.
- Mix together the beaten eggs and the 1/3 cup lemon juice.
- Heat enough oil to deep fry the cauliflower to 350u0b0F.
- Coat each floret in the egg mixture, and then dredge in the breadcrumbs.
- Deep fry until breadcrumbs turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Drain well on paper towels.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces if desired.
