Kentucky Fried Cauliflower Recipes

SPICY FRIED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Combine the salt, paprika, curry powder and chilli powder and stir to combine. Heat the oil in a wok or large pan to about 180°C. Add half the cauliflower florets and fry until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain and repeat for the remaining florets. While the cauliflower is still hot, sprinkle generously with the salt-and-spice mix, reserving any unused mix for a future batch. Scatter with parsley, grind over some black pepper and serve with lemon wedges. Try Adam Liaw's lamb and labne trenchers.

KFC NASHVILLE HOT FRIED CAULIFLOWER RECIPE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the cut cauliflower with salt and pepper.
• Whisk soy milk with hot sauce in a large bowl or large freezer bag.
• Place the cauliflower "drumsticks" in the bowl or bag, and chill for a minimum of two hours (I like to marinate overnight).
• Heat oven to 425F and roast cauliflower in oven for 40 minutes, turning after 20.
• Remove cauliflower from heat and set aside.
• Whisk together egg replacer and set aside.
• Whisk soy milk with ACV and set aside for 5 minutes to create soy buttermilk.
• In a large bowl whisk together reserved marinade, egg replacer mixture, soy buttermilk mixture, and hot sauce to create the buttermilk breading mixture.
• Whisk all of the ingredients for the seasoned flour together in a separate large bowl.
• To cook you can use a deep fryer or a deep pan with a lid.
• If using a deep fryer, heat frying oil (I like peanut or vegetable) to 325F.
• If using a deep pan, pour enough vegetable oil to measure 3 inches inside the pan. Cover with a lid and heat the oil over medium-high heat to 325F.
• Dredge the cauliflower in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Then dip the drumstick in your buttermilk mixture, and dredge the cauliflower again in flour mixture and place in a separate bowl or baking pan.
• Cook 3 to 4 cauliflower drumsticks in the hot oil at once.
• In a deep fryer this should cook up golden brown and crispy in about 3-4 minutes.
• If you are using a deep pan with a lid, turn the cauliflower occasionally. This should take about 3 to 6 minutes.
• Keep an eye on the pieces and remove when golden brown and crispy.
• Place finished drumsticks on a tray or bowl lined with paper towel to soak up excess oil.
• Continue to fry your cauliflower in batches of 3 or 4, allowing the oil to return to 325°F between batches.
• While you are frying your cauliflower, whisk together cayenne, brown sugar, garlic salt, paprika and vegetable in a small saucepan to create your Nashville sauce.
• Cook on low-medium heat, whisking often.
• Cook for 15 minutes, making sure it never comes to a boil.
• Strain using a tight sieve and transfer in a jar.
• Seal remainder of hot sauce and keep in fridge until you need it.
• Serve with dill pickle medallions/chips.
