HOW TO MAKE DEEP FRIED BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER
I wanted to come up with a fried spicy cauliflower recipe. I was thinking about the ingredients for a couple of weeks and what I was going to use for the recipe. I know that I wanted it to be well seasoned and spicy. Cauliflower can sometimes retain water which can make it slightly challenging. But I finally got a recipe for the cauliflower on my first try. I want to share the recipe with all of you.
Ingredients
1 medium cauliflower head
1 Large cage-free brown egg ( or egg of your choice)
1 Cup of presifted flour or flour of your choice
3/4 of Seafood batter mix
2 teaspoons of green seasoning
Check the website for the “Green Seasoning Recipe”
1/2 Teaspoon of paprika
1 Tablespoon of seasoned salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Vegetable oil
1 tablespoon of onion powder
Cajun seasoning
1 bottle of Louisiana hot sauce
Prep
Remove the florets from the main stem of the
cauliflower
Separate the florets into smaller florets
Rinse them under some cool running water
I got about 3/4r bowl of cauliflower
Batter mixture
Add about 3/4 cup of the seafood batter mix into a
bowl
Add 1 tablespoon of onion powder
Add one teaspoon of garlic powder
Mix all the dry ingredients
Add 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning salt
And 1/4 teaspoon of paprika
Mix all the dry ingredients together
Mix in the large brown egg
Gradually add about 1/2 cup of water
until you get a smooth and thick mixture
Add 2 teaspoons of green seasoning
The mixture should be smooth like pancake mix
Moving on to the coating add about 1 cup of flour to a
Ziploc bag and set it aside
Preheat 1/2 a pot of oil on high heat
So as the oil is heating up
Coat each floret with the seafood batter mixture
You can use any kitchen tool of your choice but
my choice is the screwer sticks it works for me
Add as many florets as you can into the bowl
Add them to the Ziploc bag to coat them
with the flour and set them aside
Shake off the excess flour
Once the oil is ready, add a few of the coated
cauliflower
Allow them to cook until they are golden brown
If you want them to be extra crispy fry them twice
Continue these steps until you have deep-fried
all the cauliflower florets
They should have a beautiful golden brown color
So let's make them spicy
I added just a few to a bowl since that was my
first time trying this hot sauce
Drizzle some of that Louisiana wing sauce
over the pieces of deep-fried cauliflower
You can also use a Ziploc bag for this step
Mix and spread the wing sauce evenly
throughout the cauliflower
And yes they are hot the Louisiana wing sauce ain't
no joke
Overall it was delicious
I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as we do
