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
Directions
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into florets and grate them using a box grater or food processor to achieve a rice-like texture.
Step 2
Place the grated cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Cut the rosti into wedges and sprinkle with chopped chives before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot as a side dish or a light meal with a salad.
