Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Pour out one-quarter of a can of beer. Trim the base of a head of cauliflower so it can rest on the beer can but the florets still stay together. Brush melted butter all over the cauliflower and season with salt. Lay a double sheet of foil on the grill. Put the beer can on the foil and rest the cauliflower on the top. Cover the grill and cook until the cauliflower is browned and tender, about 1 hour. Remove the cauliflower and brush with melted butter mixed with hot sauce and grated garlic. Return the cauliflower to the beer can and grill 10 to 15 more minutes. Brush with more spicy butter and sprinkle with salt. Serve with blue cheese dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose a cauliflower head that is firm and has tightly packed florets.
  • Cut the cauliflower into florets of uniform size to ensure even cooking.
  • Soak the cauliflower florets in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Make sure the batter is cold before dipping the cauliflower florets. This will help the batter adhere to the cauliflower and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with at least 3 inches of oil to fry the cauliflower. The oil should be heated to 350°F (175°C) before adding the cauliflower.
  • Fry the cauliflower in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help the cauliflower cook evenly and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Cook the cauliflower until it is golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
  • Drain the cauliflower on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the cauliflower immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
