This is a great and easy recipe for fried cauliflower. I recommend only using self-rising flour because it helps it get more crispy and the right texture. You can serve this with ranch, blue cheese dressing, or marinara sauce.

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.

BEER BATTER CAULIFLOWER (WAS MUSHROOMS), MY WAY



Beer Batter Cauliflower (was Mushrooms), My Way image

When I was in junior college, one of the places I loved to go to eat served amazing beer battered cauliflower. This originally was for mushrooms, and I altered it to use cauliflower instead. Serve with ranch dipping sauce and you will be happy!

Provided by Megan Stewart

Categories     Vegetable Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 qt vegetable oil
1 lb cauliflower pieces
1 c flour
1/2 tsp powder
1 c beer (i use yuengling)
1 egg
1/2 tsp chili powder (i tend to omit more than i use)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil. Wipe down the cauliflower with paper towel so it isn't wet. Mix dry ingredients in one bowl, wet in another (beat egg before adding beer). Combine dry and wet, just until blended. Dip cauliflower into batter and place in the hot oil to fry. Let oil heat again between batches, and you can stir up the batter so it doesn't separate before dipping again. Drain fried cauliflower on paper towels, and serve hot. I like dipping mine in ranch dressing. :)

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for cauliflower heads that are firm and compact, with no signs of bruising or wilting.
  • Cut the cauliflower into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Make sure the batter is well-coated: The batter should be thick enough to coat the cauliflower florets completely.
  • Use a large skillet or pot: This will help the cauliflower cook evenly and prevent overcrowding.
  • Cook the cauliflower over medium-high heat: This will help the batter to brown and crisp up.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking the cauliflower in batches will help it cook evenly and prevent steaming.
  • Serve the cauliflower immediately: Beer-battered cauliflower is best served hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Beer-battered cauliflower is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your beer-battered cauliflower turns out perfect every time.
