This recipe was one of my favorites growing up, back home. Too bad I didn't get a chance to get the actual recipe from Mom, but, this I got it from a local store add (Tiendas Coppel), and have made some minor changes to make it more like my mom's. This recipe is from the Region of Sonora, México. Ingredients:
1 lb cauliflower floret |
10 ounces cotija cheese |
2 eggs |
2 tomatoes |
1 cup water |
1/2 onion |
1 tablespoon butter |
4 tablespoons wheat flour |
1/2 lemon |
oil (for deep frying) |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Boil the cauliflower florets and ashed them with the cheese, salt and pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, beat/whisk the egg whites until it forms peaks, then add the yolks and a couple drops of lemon juice. Beat/whisk to mix.
3. Form patties with the cauliflower mixture, you can squeeze the excess water out. Pass them throu the flour, followed by the egg mixture.
4. Heat up the enough oil in a skillet, and fry the patties until browned.
5. For the Sauce, roast the tomatoes , either in the oven, or I usually use a dry skillet, and cut them in half before doing it. When they are roasted, blend them.
6. Chop the onion very fine.
7. Fry the tomato sauce with some oil (or lard), adding the finely chopped onions to ti. Bring it to a boil.
8. Serve the patties covered with the sauce.
