Ingredients

Sunflower Spread

  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
  • Olive oil
  • Lemon juice
  • Salt

Fritters

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3 cups cauliflower florets see note
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Oil for frying

For Serving

  • Microgreens
  • Extra Feta
  • Flakey Sea Salt
  • Chili Flakes

Instructions

  • An hour before making this, soak the sunflower seeds in enough warm water cover by an inch.
  • When ready to start, pulse the rolled oats and cauliflower together until the cauliflower is in small pieces. Add the feta, baking powder, curry powder, and salt; pulsing again to combine. Finally, add the eggs and pulse a few more times until the mixture comes together.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Slightly wet your hands, take about ¼ cup of the mixture, shape into a patty and place into the pan. Alternatively, scoop the mixture with a spoon, slide into the pan, and press down with the back of the spoon. 
  • Cook the patties until the side is deeply golden. Carefully flip and repeat. If you try and flip too early, the patties will fall apart. Repeat with remaining mixture. 
  • While the fritters are cooking, drain the water from the sunflower seeds and place in a blender with ½ cup of fresh water, herbs, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Puree until smooth, adding a splash more water as needed to thin enough to blend. 
  • Serve the fritters with a spread of sunflower cream and top with the microgreens. 

Notes

 
When I say three cups, it’s a mounded three cups which worked out to be about ½ head of medium cauliflower.
