Description

Imagine biting into a tender cauliflower floret encased in a delightfully crisp coating, each piece delivering an explosion of savory and subtly spicy flavors. This dish transforms humble cauliflower into an irresistible appetizer or side, perfect for sharing or enjoying all by yourself. Fresh, bite-sized cauliflower pieces are first enveloped in a rich, creamy base, ensuring that every nook and cranny is infused with moisture and flavor.

Then, they're generously coated in a meticulously crafted blend of finely ground almonds and crushed pork rinds, creating a uniquely textured and satisfyingly crunchy exterior. The coated cauliflower is then carefully fried until it achieves a beautiful golden-brown hue and a perfectly crisp texture. This cooking process ensures that the cauliflower inside remains tender and slightly sweet, providing a delightful contrast to the crunchy, savory coating.

Once fried to perfection, the cauliflower florets are tossed in a vibrant and tangy bang bang sauce. This luscious sauce is a harmonious blend of creamy smoothness, spicy heat, and a touch of acidity. The creamy element provides a comforting richness that coats the cauliflower evenly, while the spicy component adds a thrilling kick that awakens the taste buds.

A hint of tanginess cuts through the richness, creating a balanced and addictive flavor profile. The beauty of this recipe lies in its adaptability. You can easily adjust the level of spice to suit your personal preferences, adding more or less of the hot sauce to create your perfect balance of flavor and heat.

Serve these bang bang cauliflower bites immediately to experience the ultimate combination of textures and flavors – the tender cauliflower, the crispy coating, and the creamy, spicy, tangy sauce all working together in perfect harmony. These flavorful bites are guaranteed to be a hit with everyone.

Instructions

    1.
    In a small bowl, combine heavy cream, egg, and 1 tsp kosher salt. Whisk well until fully combined. Set aside. The salt might seem like a lot, but you will not be using the entire mixture and it needs to be salty enough to flavor the whole cauliflower floret.
    2.
    Add pork rinds to a ziploc bag and crush them very well with a rolling pin. You want the crumbs as fine as possible. Place the crushed pork rinds into a bowl and add the almond flour. Mix well to combine.
    3.
    Dip each cauliflower floret one at a time into the cream mixture and shake off as much cream as possible. You do not want excess moisture to go into the pork rind mixture or else the mixture will no longer stick.
    4.
    Shake off the excess cream and then dip the cauliflower floret into the pork rind mixture until it is completely coated. Place the florets on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with each floret.
    5.
    They should look like this once coated and ready to go into the hot oil.
    6.
    In the meantime, add enough oil to a medium sized saucepan to come up about ¾ of the way in the pot. Heat the oil over medium high heat until the oil reads 375 F-400 F on a high temperature thermometer. Carefully add ¼ of the cauliflower florets into the hot oil and cook them for 1-2 minutes until very nicely golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the other florets.
    7.
    To make the bang bang mayo sauce combine the mayo, sriracha, and rice wine vinegar together and mix well with a spatula or spoon. Place a few pieces of hot fried cauliflower into a small bowl at a time, add a little bit of bang bang sauce and toss gently. Serve immediately.
