Instant To Instagram: Fried Cauliflower

Did you know: the word “cauliflower” comes from the Italian "caoli fiori", meaning “cabbage flower”. But if you go further back in history, it originates from the Latin words "caulis" (cabbage) and "flōs" (flower).

What a mouthful, right? Etymology aside, here's a super easy (and Instagrammable) recipe that will keep your mouth full - of delicious flavour, that is!
