Cauliflower Buffalo Bites
RecipeCauliflower Buffalo Bites

Cauliflower makes a perfect substitute for golden chicken wings in this healthier version of an all-time favorite. You get that unique balance of crispness, sweetness, tanginess, and spice in a sticky, finger-licking glaze. Buffalo wings are an ideal snack for any time of the day, having all the goodness of less fat but with more fiber. Fans of this American cocktail classic will love this indulgence without guilt. Cauliflower may be our star for now, but other foods would serve just as well. These could include zucchini sticks, onion rings, green tomato slices, eggplant wedges and mushroom pieces. Actually, any sturdy vegetables that can be fried are suitable. Using the same batter and glaze from this recipe, prepare a large platter of assorted meat and vegetables for your next party. This secret of the dish is its crisp and flavorful beer batter. Don’t settle for a batter that is dense and soggy. Equal parts of all-purpose flour and cornstarch give your cauliflower a good crispness after soaking up all those delicious flavors from the glaze. The dark lager gives the batter a distinct flavor while making it light and airy. As for the glaze, different blends are popular but my favorite is Sir Racha. In fact, I use this for most recipes where hot sauce is called for. I even use sesame oil in place of butter whenever I get a craving for something Asian, and finish off with a sprinkling of spring onions and sesame seeds. Be creative! These cauliflower buffalo bites team up well with your favorite dip, whether it’s garlic, aioli, blue cheese, mayo, or even the good old tartar sauce. Time to get those napkins dirty!

Liver patties recipe is a great way to substitute meat and add to your normal protein intake. Easy to make, soft and delicious to taste, and absolutely healthy, they will make an excellent addition to your diet. Liver is one of the products that is often neglected on the shelves of the supermarket, and there is no better explanation than the truth that the majority of people don’t know how to cook and enjoy it. This liver patties recipe is very versatile. In principle, it doesn’t matter what kind of liver you are going to use, the outcome is always the same - soft and delicious patties! It is quite important, however, to select the liver pieces that contain no or very little streaks. Although the liver pieces will be ground, these streaks will not contribute to the softness of the patties, and that is something you might want to consider. Both fresh and frozen liver will work absolutely fine, just make sure to avoid extra moisture when preparing the liver for grinding. After you wash liver make sure you drain all water, or wipe the liver with a paper towel. The recipe calls for the most basic ingredients and spices. There’s no need to get complicated, the best things in life are the simplest! In addition to salt and pepper, you can season the liver mince with some herbs of your choice, but the patties will end up being rather delicious just like that. Simple and aromatic! You can get 16 medium-sized patties using this recipe; feel free to double it if cooking for a bigger crowd. We hope that you give this recipe a try, and will no longer neglect liver on supermarket shelves.
