One very popular dish, here in the Netherlands, is ‘Kibbeling’. Traditionally ‘Kibbeling’ contains of lightly coated fried cod and a sauce. Personally I try to find ways to eat more vegetables. Since cauliflower has sort of the same texture and taste as cod, it is a great ingredient to replace the fish. I really hope you will try this recipe once! If you prefer fish, you can definitely replace the cauliflower by cod. In that case, you don’t have to precook the fish but you can use it raw. Great lunch, starter or snack!
