Cauliflower is an incredibly versatile spring and summer vegetable and here are 5 recipes in which cauliflower is the unexpected hero and where it can take place of other ingredients. There's Korean unfried cauliflower "wings", cauliflower steak, cauliflower pizza base, butter cauliflower plus cauliflower hot wings with dipping sauces!
Who doesn't love crispy Korean Fried Chicken? But did you know cauliflower makes great chicken wings? This is also an oven baked version so there's no need to deep fry. These "wings" are drenched in a sticky, spicy Korean glaze and they are sooo good!
OK I'm not going to tell you that a roasted cauliflower steak tastes like an actual beef steak. No it doesn't but this slab of cauliflower with creamy mushroom sauce is delicious in its own right.
By now you've probably heard of the cauliflower pizza base. And while it won't replace a puffy, blistered Napoletana base it makes for a surprisingly tasty pizza base with all the goodness of cauliflower! It's also low carb and gluten free.
Let's not kid ourselves, the best part of butter chicken is that glorious sauce and with this butter cauliflower you can have that sauce but with cauliflower in place of chicken!
You can probably tell how much I like using cauliflower in place of chicken when you see this list and it's true, it works especially well as wings. These are also baked so no need for deep frying and are dipped in a honey buttered hot sauce and then served with a cooling blue cheese dip!
So tell me Dear Reader, have you tried any of these ways to eat cauliflower?
