Beer Battered Fried Cauliflower Recipes

BEER-CAN CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Pour out one-quarter of a can of beer. Trim the base of a head of cauliflower so it can rest on the beer can but the florets still stay together. Brush melted butter all over the cauliflower and season with salt. Lay a double sheet of foil on the grill. Put the beer can on the foil and rest the cauliflower on the top. Cover the grill and cook until the cauliflower is browned and tender, about 1 hour. Remove the cauliflower and brush with melted butter mixed with hot sauce and grated garlic. Return the cauliflower to the beer can and grill 10 to 15 more minutes. Brush with more spicy butter and sprinkle with salt. Serve with blue cheese dressing.

EASIEST BATTER FRIED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• 1. Cut the cauliflower into small flowerettes and set a side.
• 2. In a mixing bowl beat the two egg whites till fluffy like foam. While beating add plain flour until the mixture is thickened.
• 3. Once the mixture is a thick paste, add the two ice cubes and keep beating till they melt. At this point, if the mixture is still too thick add another ice cube.
• 4. Add desired amount of chillie flakes and salt to taste.
• 5. Coat the flowerettes well in the mixture. (A little excess mixture on each flowerette won't hurt!).
• 6. Deep fry the coated flowerettes till golden brown. (Make sure the oil is very hot before you throw in the cauliflower).
• 7. Serve with preferred dip.
