If you're anything like me your thinking. How is this even possible? Buffalo Wings and it's made from Cauliflower?Then I thought there's no way these will turn out good. Well I was wrong.
As a matter of fact Cauliflower's versatility will blow you away. Not just this dish but many many others.
I have found you can make many surprising things using Cauliflower!
Mash Potatoes, Rice, Tortillas, Pizza Crust, Toast, Stir Fry, and what you're here for Buffalo Wings.
Ok let's get to it.
I used one entire Cauliflower. Half is more than enough for 3-4 people. We had more for the next day. Next time I'll do half.
Cut your Cauliflower's steam and leaves off. Then break into Florets. They should look similar to broccoli.
I use Almond unsweetened milk. You can use what ever milk you'd like. Add a pinch of Salt and Pepper, chili powder, and red Cayenne pepper.
In a large storage bowl, I added flour and bread crumbs.
In a fry pan add oil. Enough where the Cauliflower is only half way submerged. We call that a shallow fry.
Now I dipped my Cauliflower into my almond milk bath then into the breading bowl. I popped the lid on and I SHAKED!!!!! Like shake and bake. Repeat this step if you like extra crispy like I do.Then I Fried them hard. For about 3-5 mins on each side.
It's just like frying chicken. Some people boil their chicken first instead you can roast your Cauliflower before hand but it is not necessary. Cauliflower can be eating raw...
After you fry them, place them in a pan with a paper towel to soak up some of the oil.
In a separate bowl, I used "Sweet Baby Baby Rays" Hot Wing Sauce" or "Red Hot Buffalo Wing sauce.
Heat hot sauce. Then I placed a hand full of my fried cauliflower into my hot sauce mixture and scooped them back into the pan they went.
You can use any hot sauce and just add Vegan butter, Coconut Oil or oil spread. I did not use the oil spread or butter. That's the traditional way to make wing sauce. However when you buy "Wing Sauce" they've already added butter. My favorite is "Red Hot" Wing Sauce. I just wanted to try something new.
Finally, present them to your family and watch their mouth drop when you tell them this is a vegetarian meal.
Try this out and let me know it turns out. #healthyissexy to your pics to show your attempts.
And remember,
Healthy is Sexy
Enjoy.
