Spanish Garlic Cauliflower Crumbs

To make this recipe, I used a head of fresh cauliflower. To chop it into small crumbs, I used a food processor. If you don’t have a food processor, just chop the cauliflower until you end up with small chunks. You don’t want to over-chop the cauliflower; otherwise, it will lose its texture.

I topped the cauliflower crumbs with a fried egg. Which is very typical in this dish. However, you can omit the egg to make this dish plant-based. You can substitute the egg for grapes or even oranges for a sweet and savory flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower 1.5 lbs / 675 grams
  • 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 90 ml
  • 6 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
  • 1 1/2 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika 4 grams
  • 4 cage-free organic eggs
  • sea salt & black pepper
  • chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Remove the outer leaves from the head of cauliflower, then cut the head into 4 evenly sized pieces, cut off the florets from each piece, making sure to cut the bigger ones into smaller ones, that way they´re all similar in size, add the florets into a colander and rinse under water, then add over a dishcloth and pat dry

  2. In batches, add the florets into a food processor and pulse for a few seconds or until you end up with small chunks, you don't wan't to over chop the cauliflower, otherwise it will lose its texture

  3. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in 3 tbsp (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil

  4. After a couple of minutes add in the chopped garlic, mix continuously, after 1 minute and the garlic is fragrant, add in the paprika, quickly mix together, then add in the chopped cauliflower and season with sea salt & black pepper, mix together, then mix every 2 minutes so it all evenly sautes

  5. In the meantime, heat a separate fry pan with a medium heat and add in 3 tbsp (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil

  6. Once the oil is nice and hot, start frying up the eggs, you can fry them in any style you like, I cooked them the Spanish way, just let them sit there for 1 to 2 minutes without moving, then splash some of the oil over the eggs and then remove from the pan

  7. After cooking the cauliflower for 10 to 12 minutes and it's lighty sauteed, remove the pan from the heat

  8. Transfer the cauliflower crumbs into serving dishes, top each one off with a fried egg, season the eggs with a kiss of sea salt & black pepper and garnish with chopped parsley, enjoy!

    That looks so good. I bet it would be good with diced sausage added too. I’ll make this for dinner tomorrow night. I have frozen cauliflower rice that I made from fresh cauliflower and froze unblanched that I’ll use for this. Thank you for showing such a good tasting and low carb recipe.
