Good day to everyone who reads my blog. Do you know delicious but low-calorie foods? After all, many dietary dishes are prepared either by boiling or sautéing. But sometimes you really want to treat yourself to something fried in a frying pan. So I wanted to find a dietary product that, when fried, remains low in calories. But there is such a product - cauliflower. Let's talk today about how to cook cauliflower delicious in a frying pan.

There are many varieties of this wonderful product. But among all this diversity, cauliflower is considered one of the most useful. It is recommended for many diets. With a minimum of calories, it has enormous benefits for the body. Even when frying, it retains all its mineral and vitamin complex.

The calorie content of this product during heat treatment is only 120 calories per 100 g. The protein content is 3 g, fat 10 g, and carbohydrates only 5.7 g.

It contains potassium, magnesium, as well as iron and calcium. It contains fluorine and manganese. These elements are necessary for our body to assimilate. As well as vitamins, which are contained here in large quantities. Boiled vegetables, it seems to me, are not for everyone. But fried will appeal to many. Especially if you cook it correctly.

First, the vegetable needs to be prepared: it is peeled and washed. Then they are divided into inflorescences. Choose the size of the pieces so that it is convenient to fry them and then eat them. If you are going to fry cabbage in batter, do not cut off the stem. It is very convenient to hold a piece by it while dipping it into the batter.

Before frying, cauliflower should be boiled. If you come across a vegetable with large inflorescences, you can cut them in half. The water should be boiled and salted to taste. Place the chopped cabbage pieces into boiling water and cook for literally 5 minutes. This is done so that it softens. It is important not to overcook it, otherwise it will fall apart in the pan. After cooking, place in a colander and let cool slightly.

Fry it over medium heat for about a quarter of an hour. First, do not cover with a lid, then turn the heat to low. Next, cover the frying pan with a lid and cook the product for another 10 minutes. During the frying process, a crust forms on the pieces. It is this that protects this vegetable from loss of beneficial properties. Frozen cabbage does not need to be thawed. It, like fresh, must be boiled in salted water before frying. To do this, just keep it in boiling water for a couple of minutes.

How to fry with garlic and herbs

The easiest way to cook this vegetable is to fry it with fresh herbs and garlic. For this purpose, the inflorescences are separated. It is better that the pieces are small, then boiled.

The smell when cooking cauliflower is quite specific. Therefore, many people cook it less often than they would like.

I’ll share a secret: to get rid of the smell, add a couple of pinches of dry rosemary to the water. And also a piece of lemon zest - ¼ lemon. There will be no unpleasant aromas, and the cabbage will turn out tender and tasty

Then the boiled pieces need to be fried until golden brown in vegetable oil. You can roll them in flour. Don't forget to season the flour with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. When the cauliflower is almost ready, you can pour the dressing over it.

To do this, take 1 tbsp. olive oil, squeeze in a couple of cloves of garlic. And also add dill or parsley to taste. When the dish is almost ready, pour in the sauce, stir, and let simmer for another couple of minutes.

How to cook cabbage with egg

Frying this product with an egg is prepared quite quickly. This is a delicious dish for every day. You can serve it with sour cream dressing. To prepare we will need:

• cauliflower – 500 g;
• chicken egg – 3-4 pcs.;
• butter – 50 g;
• spices, salt - to taste.
• cheese – 100 g

Separate the cabbage forks and boil. When it is ready, use a slotted spoon to strain off the liquid. Dry the boiled vegetables.

Then heat the frying pan and melt the butter. Or you can make part vegetable and the same amount creamy. I love cooking so much more now.

Place the pieces in a frying pan and lightly fry on all sides. A characteristic golden color should appear. While the vegetables are browning, beat the eggs.

Then pour them into the frying pan and mix with the cabbage. Fry the mixture over medium heat. The color of the roast should be light brown. Then you need to sprinkle everything with pre-grated cheese. Cover the contents of the frying pan with a lid and let stand for another couple of minutes.

5. Tomatoes 5-7 minutes before the end.
6. Sprinkle with herbs when serving.
