Breaded Cauliflower  (Vyprážaný Karfiol)

The other day I decided to venture out into my childhood and re-create one of my favorite recipes…..

Growing up in Slovakia one of my favorite meatless dishes was Breaded Cauliflower ( Vyprážaný Karfiol ) with fresh homemade tartar sauce and creamy mashed potatoes.

Even though I don’t make fried cauliflower often anymore it is still one of my favorite dishes…..even my two meat eating boys are warming up to the idea of breaded and fried CAULIFLOWER.

One of the important things while cooking on a budget is to make meals hearty and satisfying while keeping the cost down.

Breaded Cauliflower  – Vyprážaný Karfiol  with homemade tartar sauce and mashed potatoes fits this criteria perfectly.
