The nice thing about making your own curry paste is that like anything homemade, not only is it far fresher than anything store-bought, but it is also completely customizable. This really makes a difference when it comes to heat level. I consider this recipe as written to be about a “medium” heat level. For “mild” omit the jalapenos, and for “hot” use 3 jalapenos and add 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (or to taste).

Quite possibly one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. Imagine if you will, plunging your spoon through a crispy layer of caramelized sugar to expose a silky layer of frozen creme brulee ice cream beneath. Oh yea baby, this recipe is worth every single calorie-laden bite. Break out the kitchen torch! Your family and friends are going to flip over this one.

Recipe Description

Vegetarian buffalo wings! A perfect appetizer or side dish for your football party.

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 F.

Trim the heat of cauliflower into appetizer-sized pieces. (I bought the pre-chopped kind.) Set it aside.

In a shallow bowl stir together milk, flour and garlic powder.

Dip each piece of cauliflower into the batter and allow the extra batter to dip off. Place on a greased baking sheet. Spray the tops of the florets with cooking oil. Bake for 18 minutes.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Mix together melted butter and Frank’s hot sauce.

Toss cooked cauliflower pieces with sauce. Serve with a side of blue cheese dressing.

Note: The bottom of my cauliflower pieces burned a little. The burned crust easily pulled off. I tried cooking it for less time and it didn’t cook through.

Ingredients

1 head Cauliflower
1 cup Milk
¾ cups Flour
2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
½ cups Blue Cheese Dressing

We LOVED this recipe! This recipe was easy to make but delivered big on the flavor. The sauce was true Buffalo wing sauce (just Frank’s and butter!) and was absolutely perfect!

Not what we were expecting. Kind of disappointing.

These were really yummy. Really. The sauce was nice and spicy and was a true Buffalo flavor and the cauliflower was the perfect texture. Thanks for posting!

I already commented on this but it was super easy to make. Being from Louisiana I tweaked it by using Crystal hot wing sauce and 2 tablespoons of butter for the sauce. That and the batter were enough for 2 cauliflower heads. It was really tasty, but the florets were a bit crumbly side so they were easier to eat with a fork. Next time I’ll either reduce the baking time or try it with cauliflower raw.

These are really delicious. I cooked mine at 425 degrees, on parchment, and didn’t let the batter drip off completely – they came out golden with little crispy batter puddles on the bottom. I modified the sauce recipe and served it on the side. Give this recipe a try, very easy to make and delicious!

Delicious! I planned to serve this as a side dish, but instead my husband and I ate the entire batch for dinner. It was fun and easy to make, tasty and SPICY. We loved it! For one head of cauliflower, I used all of the batter but only half of the sauce.

Pico de Gallo

by Carolina HeartStrings and filed in Appetizers, Salsas

I am a Mexican food fiend and nothing makes me happier than a big bowl of pico de gallo and chips. This is such an easy recipe and you can make it mild, medium or spicy depending on what you prefer. I like spicy, so jalapeno peppers are for me, but you could add habanero peppers if you like a lot of heat!
