I had about 2.5 lbs of broccoli I was going to use for something else but I didn't have the time. So, I decided to make broccoli fritters. But, since I had so much broccoli, I decided to experiment. The idea was to make half using a method similar to the cauliflower fritters[@rev]. I actually found a Smitten Kitchen Post(they also did the cauliflower ones) and I used that for inspiration.
The other idea was to finely chop broccoli and make it in the food processor. This idea was more a la falafel. I went as far as to also add half an onion for extra flavor.
Anyway, my recipe andprocedures are below. I really had to bake them for a long time. It took 40 minutes on the one side for them to get brown and then 12 on the other. I wonder if the silpat made them brown less. Next time, I'll go back to non-stick aluminum foil or parchment.
The mashed version was better. The flavors were more what I liked which is probably from the broccoli being more cooked. And, maybe the onion was a bit too overpowering in the food-processor one. In both photos, the ones on the left are food processor and the ones on the right are mashed.
Broccoli Fritters 1 (Food Processor)
Combine in food processor
about 1-1.5 lbs raw broccoli finely chopped (I actually used 1 lbs 3-5/8 oz)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 onion finely chopped
2 eggs
minced garlic
1/2 tsp cumin
Crushed red pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika and garlic powder to taste
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
Pulse to chop and combine. You may need to use a spatula to help mix.
Form into patties on pammed tray with something to prevent sticking (silpat, non-stick aluminum foil, parchment). Pam other side of patties.
Bake at 425 for 35-45 minutes or until bottom is browned. Flip to cook other side (about 10-15 min)
Broccoli Fritters 2 (Mashed)
1-1.5 lbs broccoli (I used 1 lbs, 5-3/8 oz)
1/2 cup flour
crushed red pepper and garlic powder to taste
1 egg
about 1 clove minced garlic
1/2 tsp lemon juice
dried onion to taste
Chop broccoli and steam until tender (about 5-8 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly and mash with a potato masher.
Add the rest of the ingredients and combine. Adjust flour to desiredconsistency.
