Subdeacon Joe Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Tried a few new things tonight. First: Quote Easy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites Ingredients 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1/3 cup Frank's™ Red Hot™ Buffalo wings sauce 2 packages (10 oz each) fresh cauliflower florets (about 6 cups) 3/4 cup plain panko crispy bread crumbs Steps 1 Heat oven to 450°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking parchment paper. 2 In large bowl, mix melted butter and sauce. Add cauliflower; toss until well coated. 3 Place breadcrumbs in gallon-size resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add cauliflower; shake to coat. Place cauliflower in single layer on pan. 4 Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown and crisp-tender. Didn't have panko so I used regular bread crumbs, so they didn't have a crunch to the outside. And used a different wing sauce. For dipping I made: Quote Homemade Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing Ingredients 1 tablespoon dried parsley 1/2 - 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1/2 - 2 teaspoons onion powder 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon fresh chives 1 cup non fat plain greek yogurt 1/3 cup buttermilk 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon lemon juice Instructions Place the spices (dried parsley - fresh chives) into a food processor and pulse a few times, until the spices have been ground up a bit. Scrape down the sides. Place the remaining ingredients - greek yogurt, buttermilk, Dijon, and lemon juice - into the food processor and pulse until the ingredients have been fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides, if needed, and pulse again. Transfer into a sealable container (like a mason jar) and place in the fridge until you're ready to use it! Notes: *Some people like more or less garlic/onion powder, so start with a little and go from there! ** Nutritional information is for one tablespoon! That's only 192 calories for the whole recipe.

No dried parsley so I used fresh. Also added some lemon thyme and Savory Spice Shop "Renaissance Gardens Seasoning" blend, maybe half a teaspoon. And why get a food processor dirty? I just minced all the herbs with my knife, then mixed everything in a small bowl. Both are "I gotta do this again!" And "Hmm....If I add some....."

J-BAR #18287 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I guess it’s proof that it takes some effort to make cauliflower appealing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coat it in wing sauce, roll in bread crumbs, bake. Enjoy with ranch or blue cheese dressing. Or plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 we've been putting the florets cut from a whole head in olive oil, salt and pepper then roasting on grill to get smokey taste. Have to put another pan under the primary one or you'll burn the florets. wife and I wiped out an entire head, course that was entire dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 I just talked to my wife. She turned the leftovers into a spicy cauliflower soup. Heated it up in some water, added a few things, and used the stick blender to puree it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Rhee Drummond on Pioneer Woman aired a show today where she replaced pasta in mac and cheese with cauliflower. she said it was good. cauliflower fights dementia and is better for diabetics than pasta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizPete Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I would totally eat that but Petey ain't eating no cauliflower. And I don't know why -- he likes cabbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 I don't recall if I posted this one yet: Cauliflower Salad 1 head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into bite-size florets 3/4 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon mustard 1 teaspoon salt ground black pepper to taste 3 hard boiled eggs, chopped 1 onion, chopped 3/4 cup frozen green peas, thawed 1/4 cup dill pickles, chopped 3 slices crisply cooked bacon, crumbled (optional) Directions Place cauliflower in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until just fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. In a large bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Add the cauliflower, eggs, onion, peas, dill pickles, and bacon to the dressing and stir until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours. The longer the cauliflower salad chills, the better the flavor. *Add the eggs after everything else except for is mixed, then gently fold them in. Add the bacon just before serving. · Lightly steam the cauliflower rather than boil it. This screams to be played with. Change up the types of mustard. Use frozen peas & carrots. Add in diced celery. Use cubed ham rather than bacon. Go wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
