Cauliflower French Fries

 
A new version of the french fry has been invented that uses cauliflower as a main ingredient. The fries have fewer carbohydrates than regular french fries and contain the same nutrients and fiber content as a serving of broccoli.

Other ingredients in the cauliflower fries include egg whites, calcium caseinate, a milk derivative, and a small amount of potato. The mixture forms a dough-like batter that is shaped and cooked into different forms.

The inventor also plans to market other low-carbohydrate "potato" products with the recipe, including tater tots, latkes, twice-baked potatoes and batter for fried foods.

Although these "fries" have fewer carbs than regular french fries, please be aware that anything that is fried, even cauliflower, has the issue of trans fat and the potent cancer-causing substance acrylamide.

If you are looking for a good side dish to replace potatoes, my new book has a recipe for cauliflower mashed potatoes, which taste remarkably similar to real mashed potatoes. This is a great meal for protein metabolic types like myself.
