Here’s a vegetarian take on an American bar food classic. Food Loves Beer Editors BEER BATTERED BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER BITES There’s something undeniably addictive about Buffalo chicken wings. We think it’s the blend of texture and flavors: the crunch of the crispy skin, the buttery hot and tangy sauce, and the cool and pungent blue cheese dipping sauce that garners legions of fans. In fact, this combination is so enticing that vegetarians were determined to recreate an equally enjoyable version, and the result is this recipe we adapted from Planticize. It’s definitely a crowd-pleaser, and not just among vegetarians. A light, crisp beer batter with brown rice flour gives the coating a nice crunch, which doesn't lose its texture after the sauce is added. Servings: 6 to 8 Active Time: 25 minutes Total Time: 50 minutes Ingredients For batter:
For Buffalo sauce:
