Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Chopped chives
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and grate them using a box grater or food processor to achieve a rice-like texture.
Place the grated cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
Once the pan is hot, add half of the cauliflower mixture to the pan and press it down with a spatula to form a flat, even layer.
Cook for about 8-10 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the rosti using a large spatula and cook for another 8-10 minutes until the other side is golden brown as well.
Remove the rosti from the pan and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining butter, olive oil, and cauliflower mixture to make a second rosti.
Cut the rosti into wedges and sprinkle with chopped chives before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or a light meal with a salad.
