Spicy buffalo cauliflower

I decided to give these spicy buffalo cauliflower bites a go, as a healthier and meat-free take on buffalo chicken. Plus I looove Mexican flavours!

You can serve these in a few different ways: on a platter with a dip, in a wrap (I used Farrah’s spinach wrap!), or in a salad.

Depending on what you’re serving it with, these are some ingredients that would be delicious: red onion, tomato, avocado, red pepper, greek yoghurt, coconut, cucumber.

Options for serving sauces are below, too!

What you’ll need:

Quarter cauliflower head, chopped

1/2 cup plain flour

1/2 cup water

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp cumin

1/4 cup of hot sauce (I used half Barkers Harissa sauce and half Barkers Chipotle sauce)

Pinch of salt

Drizzle of oil

How to make them:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
  2. Chop the cauliflower into bite sized pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, water and salt, smoked paprika and cumin, and mix until combined.
  4. Add all the cauliflower to the bowl, and gently coat all the cauliflower with the mixture.
  5. Using tongs, transfer all the cauliflower to a baking tray (this is so you don’t transfer clumpy mixture), and drizzle with oil.
  6. Bake in the oven 10-15 minutes.
  7. Once they’re cooked, put them in a bowl and coat with the hot sauce.

Options for serving sauces:

  • Greek yoghurt, chopped coriander and fresh lime zest & juice.
  • Avocado, 2 teaspoons coconut cream, fresh coriander (thoroughly mix together)

Enjoy!

Spinach wraps

These wraps are the perfect way to make your average wrap a bit more exciting, and turn that average assortment of ingredients in your fridge into something really tasty.

I was inspired to make these by Eleanor Ozich’s Homemade, but have adapted the recipe to make it my own.

You can put almost anything in the filling. I decided to keep it really simple: my home made aioli, char-grilled capsicum, alfalfa sprouts and crumbed feta.

This recipe makes 4 spinach wraps.

What you’ll need:

3/4 cups of fresh spinach

1 tsp sea salt

3/4 cups self-raising flour (plus more for flouring the bench)

1 tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup boiling water

How to make them:

  1. Put the spinach in the microwave for thirty seconds, so it’s partially wilted.
  2. In a large bowl, put the spinach, flour and salt and mix through.
  3. Add the boiling water and oil to the mixture small bits at a time, continuing to mix until it forms a dough.
  4. Separate the dough into four balls, and let them sit for around 10 minutes in the bowl covered by a damp tea towel.
  5. Sprinkle the bench with flour, and roll out the balls until you’re happy with the shape and size.
  6. To cook them, heat a large pan with olive oil and cook them until they start to brown.

Enjoy!
