Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Constellation and Cauliflower Bites


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date.  This is my piece for the 'Constellation' Theme.

It is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") using my Edding Pastel white pen.  You might recognize the Big and Little Dipper.

For the Dinner Date, I am showing Buffalo Cauliflower bites.


Here is the recipe.

Ingredients

for 4 servings

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour(95 g)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¾ cup milk or milk alternative(180 mL)
  • 1 head cauliflower
  • ¼ cup buffalo sauce or hot sauce(70 g)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and milk, and stir until well-combined.
  3. Break the head of cauliflower into florets, about 1½-inches wide. Add the cauliflower florets to the batter, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Arrange the coated cauliflower on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the buffalo sauce, coconut oil, and honey and stir until evenly combined. Brush the buffalo sauce mixture on the cauliflower and bake for another 20 minutes.
  5. Enjoy!

I like your constellation art and this recipe looks delicious.

Good for you for including the little dipper ... everyone seems to ignore it, even though it it right there, very close to the Big dipper. Love your painting. I miss seeing the constellations in my night sky. Oh and Buffalo Cauliflower sounds delish ... might just have to try them. I do like a little spice in my life. When my DIL cooks the air in the kitchen causes me to cough and my eyes to water ... that is more spice than I like in my life. But your recipe looks like it would suit me perfectly :) Be well, Christine ...
