Challenge Accepted

Our bonus family loves to challenge us with recipe ideas. Over the holidays, our kids were raving about a spicy cauliflower appetizer they had at Bristol Seafood Grill. After a number of funny texts, we were even offered a potential recipe.

We just got our seeds to plant our cauliflower in the Carondelet Garden for a Fall harvest, so we thought we better get serious about accepting this challenge. For the first round, we used half and half and panko to bread the cauliflower before baking in the oven. The sauce, which we doubled, consisted of wing sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce. We heated up the sauce as the cauliflower did its first bake. After brushing on the sauce, we did a second bake.

We are still tinkering with the recipe, but I am confident we are on track to make this Brassica shine. We plan to do several more experiments before serving this to our kids. They will be the ultimate judge on whether we met their challenge.
