Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower Wingz
with Creamy Potato Salad (Vegan & GF)


by Carole-Lee Schuchmann

This is easily one of my favorite summertime meals. It's got the perfect balance of spices and herbs along with a stunning contrast of flavors and textures. Great for a summer pot-luck, Get together, or a nice dinner night in with your loved ones!

This recipe features my own from-scratch buffalo sauce, but you can absolutely opt for your favorite wing sauce in place of it to save time!

(Serves 6-8)

Creamy Potato Salad Ingredients:

8 small to medium russet potatoes, skinned and cut into bite sized pieces

1 Cup Follow Your Heart Grapeseed Oil Vegenaise®

1 Tbs dijon mustard

1 Tbs dried dill weed

1 medium sweet white onion, finely diced

1 Tbs sea salt, or to taste

cracked black pepper, to taste

1/4 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 tsp chipotle chili powder

In a pot of salted boiling water, add potatoes and bring to a simmer until firm but tender (12-15 minutes). Once cooked, drain potatoes in a colander and run under cold water for a moment, until cooled. Coat diced onion in Vegenaise, mustard, dill, salt and pepper. Then, add potatoes and mix well. Cover and refrigerate this potato salad while you prepare the rest of this meal; it will allow the flavors to mature nicely!

What you'll need for the spicy buffalo sauce:

(Part 1 of 2)

9 jalapeno peppers, capped and cut length wise, seeds intact

1 sweet onion, sliced into half moons

1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced

6 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tsp cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil

1 cup water

Directions:

*(Please make sure you are in a well ventilated area while preparing this)*

In a hot skillet set to medium high, add olive oil, jalapeno peppers, onion, green bell pepper and minced garlic. Sauté until onions and peppers are nicely caramelized, stirring often. Cook for about 6 minutes on high, then add water and let steep for 20 minutes on medium heat. Once complete, set aside and let cool to room temperature.


(Part 2 Buffalo Sauce ingredients)

1/2 cup tomato paste

1 tsp smoked paprika

2 cups white vinegar

2 Tbs Braggs apple cider vinegar

1/4 tsp chipotle chili powder

4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp Soy Sauce

1 tsp organic brown sugar

1/2 cup raw, unsalted cashews

1 Tbs nutritional yeast

Transfer cooked pepper mixture to a high speed blender. Add remaining ingredients and blend on high for 15-30 seconds. Once completely blended, pour into a bowl and set aside to cool. While cooling, let's make these wingz!


Cauliflower Wingz Ingredients:


3 heads of cauliflower, cut into large florets

1 cup garbanzo bean flour

2 Tbs cold pressed extra virgin olive oil (just enough to lightly coat each floret)


Directions:

Preheat oven to 450° F

1.) In a large bowl, add cauliflower and olive oil. Toss until coated, then add flour and toss again until nicely coated in flour. (Alternatively, you can use a large plastic bag and shake it up to coat!)

2.) Once coated in flour, add cauliflower to a large colander set inside of a large bowl, and generously pour buffalo sauce to coat each cauliflower floret. Toss and add more sauce if desired.

3.) Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil, and lightly coat with olive or safflower oil to prevent sticking.

4.) Place cauliflower wingz on lined baking sheets, then place in the oven for 15-25 minutes.


Serve wingz while hot, add cold potato salad, and enjoy!

 A great throng shall return there...And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the LORD.'
