Beer Batter Cauliflower Was Mushrooms My Way Food

BEER BATTER CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Heat 1 quart vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
• Whisk beer, egg yolk, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a small bowl.
• Pour beer mixture into flour mixture; stir to form a batter.
• Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl; continue to beat until medium peaks form. The tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly when you lift the whisk or beat straight up.
• Fold egg whites into batter, a few tablespoons at a time.
• Toss cauliflower in the batter until fully coated.
• Deep fry small batches of battered cauliflower in the hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined oven-proof plate. Keep warm in the preheated oven.

BEER BATTER FRIED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Pour about 3 inches (more if needed to cover the mushrooms) of oil into a large pot.
• Heat until it reaches about 375 degrees Farenhieght.
• Meanwhile Mix beer, flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper and parsley flakes in a large bowl.
• Mix until smooth and well blended without any lumps.
• Dip mushrooms into batter and coat well.
• Fry mushrooms in batches in oil until crispy and brown.
• Time will vary depending on temperature of oil and the amount of mushrooms being fried.
• I usually do about 10 mushrooms at a time and it takes about 8 minutes.
• When done, remove mushrooms to a plate or bowl lined with paper towels to drain off excess oil.
• Place in a shallow bowl sprinkle with salt and toss to coat evenly.
• Serve with favorite dipping sauce!

BEER-BATTERED FRIED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Whisk flour, beer, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl to make batter. Submerge cauliflower pieces in batter to coat. Working in batches of 10, drag 1 piece at a time gently against the rim of the bowl to remove excess batter and transfer to the hot oil. Fry cauliflower, stirring gently to keep pieces separate, until golden, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried cauliflower to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Keep warm in the oven.
• Return oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) between batches and continue frying cauliflower.

BATTER DIPPED DEEP FRIED CAULIFLOWER

• Place flowerets into egg mixture and toss (or shake baggie) to coat well.
• Remove and place into flour mixture and toss (or shake baggie) to coat well.
• Fry in batches for 4 - 6 minutes or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels and lightly salt.
• *Serve w/ dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch or blue cheese.

BEER-CAN CAULIFLOWER

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

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. :)
