Buffalo Cauliflower… Clambake 2015

Appetizer, Cauliflower

I have made this a few times now and everyone always loves it.  A healthier option to satisfy your buffalo wing cravings.

We got two HUGE beautiful cauliflowers at Sun Plum

I didn’t get a picture until they were almost gone.  They are a crowd pleaser.

Buffalo Cauliflower

  • One head cauliflower
  • One stick butter
  • 1/2 cup of Frank’s Red hot sauce (plus or minus how spicy you like)
  • Blue cheese dressing

Cut up cauliflower into little pieces.  Steam for 5 minutes.  I do this ahead of time.  When ready to serve.  Melt butter and hot sauce together.  Shake sauce with cauliflower in a big bowl.  Roast in hot 450 oven for 5-10 more minutes.  Serve with blue cheese dressing.

I brought this to the clambake last Saturday which was on a perfect October day on Lake Erie.  Here’s some pix.
