Chloe Likes To Eat: Cauliflower Fitter Burgers

I did mentioned I've been a bit burger obsessive lately, not least with these hot smoked salmon burgers from a couple of weeks ago. These cauliflower fritter versions I have made with quinoa before to bulk up the protein content, but I also like them this way for a slightly lighter texture. I freeze these after baking so I have something easy to add to a lunchtime salad or to warm through with a bowl of soup in the cooler months.

Shape the mixture into patties on a lined or greased baking tray. The number will depend on the size of your cauliflower head. Don't worry if they seem a bit wet.6.
