• For the FRITTERS, place cauliflower in a food processor and pulse to consistency of rice. Scrape into a medium bowl. Place onion, lemon juice, olive oil and salt in the food processor and puree. Add flour, baking soda and chili powder and process into smooth, thick batter.
• Stir batter and herbs into cauliflower until well combined. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add canola oil and swirl to coat pan. Drop cauliflower mixture by the heaping tablespoon into the pan and flatten each patty to 1/2-inch thickness. Cook 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. The recipe makes 20-24 fritters.
