Buffalo cauliflower wings
I'm going to show you how to make a “buffalo” cauliflower, smooth, spicy and with a lot of flavor.
Do you know the Buffalo Wings? Surely, they are the typical spicy chicken wings, a well known and popular American recipe.
If you want to try it in a healthier way, it is easy to do it using cauliflower, I will explain how to make the batter and how to cook it, without frying and without unhealthy fats.
The first thing to understand is what motivation there may be to prepare a recipe like this, you may wonder, why make "fast food" recipes if our motivation is to eat healthy?
Well, it's very simple, it's a psychological thing, there are special situations, a weekend night, a sporting event, a celebration with friends or family, the upcoming parties.
These are moments to enjoy with an informal meal, sharing and leaving the routine.
Cauliflower "buffalo wings" is an ideal dish to share on special days.
This recipe is perfect for those occasions, it is very sweet, appetizing and spicy. Cauliflower is very easy to digest and does not add calories, the batter is light and tasty and the homemade barbecue sauce.
I assure you that you will love it, it is a vegan recipe suitable for everyone, it does not carry sugar of any kind, and best of all, it does not need it.
The cauliflower flowers are crispy and satiate very much, the batter has an intense flavor, it has several spices, as well as mustard and apple cider vinegar, as a binder I have put oatmeal and ground almonds.
Classic wings are made with wheat or corn flour, but I tend to avoid them, for a paleo version of this buffalo wings cauliflower, use tapioca starch.
To get a liquid texture that allows you to batter cauliflower flowers, you can add a vegetable, almond, soy, oatmeal milk, the one you like best. (For a paleo version it should be a nut, almond, hazelnut, nut, etc. drink)
The cauliflower "buffalo wings style" is the tastiest way I know to eat it, sure you'll like it.
In addition to this tasty batter, you have to brush the cauliflower flowers with the homemade barbecue sauce before baking them.
The cauliflower is cooked for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees, and the result is incredible, it is best to stay a little al dente, not soft, that way you will enjoy more, and it will give you the feeling of eating more.
I'm just telling you one thing, I'm sure you've never tasted a cauliflower as tasty as this one, so don't hesitate and get to it, you'll tell me.
