Crispy Cauliflower Leaf Wings recipe
Mob

Cauliflower leaves are as delicious as florets, and here is a glorious way to eat them. In the crispiest batter, with two out-of-this-world sauces. Addictive.

Ingredients

1 Head of Cauliflower
100g Plain Flour
40g Cornflour
1 Tsp Cumin Seeds
½ Tsp Baking Powder
150ml Sparkling Water, Very Cold
Handful of Chives
Vegetable Oil
100g Sour Cream
50g Mayonnaise
125g Blue Cheese
35g Butter
60ml Hot Sauce
1 Tbsp Honey

Method

1
Cut the leaves off your cauliflower, saving the head for another occasion.
2
Make your blue cheese sauce. Pop your sour cream and mayonnaise into a bowl and crumble in your blue cheese. Give it a good whisk until you have a smooth sauce. Set aside.
3
Make your buffalo sauce. Melt your butter in a small saucepan. Once melted, add your hot sauce and honey. Whisk until you have a smooth, vibrant sauce that has thickened slightly. Keep it warm.
4
Get your oil heating up – fill a large saucepan a third of the way with vegetable oil and gently bring it up to 180°C/354°F.
5
Pour your flour, cornflour, cumin seeds, 1 tsp of salt and baking powder into a bowl and stir to combine. Add your cold water and whisk briefly to form a batter – it doesn't need to be totally smooth.
6
Dip your cauliflower leaves one at a time into your batter, then carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry for 3 mins or so until crisp and golden. Drain on a plate lined with kitchen towel and repeat with your remaining leaves.
7
Place your crispy cauliflower leaves onto a plate along with a bowl of blue cheese sauce. Drizzle with buffalo sauce and sprinkle with chopped chives, then serve.
