Vegan Cauliflower Wings – “Hot for Food inspired ” Buffalo and Falafel
Vegan Cauliflower Wings- WE ALMOST MADE IT ! 1000 followers on instagram. That went so fast! We just started something to share our love and our messages with a lot of hope but no real hard expectations. To see that people are liking our recipes and to hear that they enjoyed the food or that we inspired them is overwhealming.
We were both never those kind of persons who ever though about being highly active on social media but now we are so lucky that we stayed openminded. Social media is not only about a big show off, we really want to use it as a tool to be social, share, inspire and educate. What i tent to say is that our strategy is all about “SLOW MEDIA”– our content is about delivering a story, information and emotions to add value to the things that we share. You need time to consume our content which is everything but what the trend is going to, but the more we are happy to see the start of creating a small community that are sharing the same values as we do or inspire people to be more aware.
For this first mile stone we chose to make one of the most famous recipes of one of my biggest inspirations – Lauren Toyota and John Diemer from Hot for Food.
How you do it :
Buffalo Wings
- Preheat the oven to 220°
- Line baking paper.
- Wash and cut cauliflower head into bite-sized pieces/florets.
- Mix flour, milk, water and the spices in a mixing bowl.
- The batter should be tripping from a folk easily, otherwise, add more liquid, but also not too liquid.
- put the cauliflower into the mixture and coat evenly. Watch out that there is not too much excess batter.
-
Place the wings on the sheet, they should not touch each other. Alternatively, heat coconut oil in the fryer (we are using the Tefal fryer from the following link because this one is frying perfectly crispy with only 3 % Fat used) Get yourself the with our This Link: TEFAL Actifry with 50 % Truefoodsblog Discount on the Product now!
