Ingredients

1/3 cup nonfat sour cream
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon skim milk
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup hot sauce, such as Frank's
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
8 cups cauliflower florets (from about 1 medium head)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
For the cheese sauce: Whisk together the sour cream, blue cheese, milk, mayonnaise, 1/8 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes
For the Buffalo cauliflower: Meanwhile, microwave the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl on high until melted. Whisk in the hot sauce and lemon juice and set aside.
Mix olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a large bowl. Add the cauliflower and toss until well coated. Spread the cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until beginning to brown and just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Whisk the hot sauce mixture again, drizzle over the cauliflower and toss with tongs to coat. Roast the cauliflower until the sauce is bubbling and browned around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes more. Serve hot with the cheese sauce.

BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER DIP

Buffalo Cauliflower Dip image

The most negotiable part of Buffalo wings, it turns out, are the wings. Buffalo crudités can be just as crisp, Buffalo chicken dip just as tangy, and Buffalo cauliflower dip just as spicy and alluring. The whole dip - from caramelizing cauliflower to stirring together the creamy hot sauce base and baking on the generous layer of cheese - is made in one pan. You can bring the pan right to the table with dippers of choice and watch it disappear. Just because classic dishes are made a certain way - and Buffalo wings have a cult following, no doubt! - don't be afraid to riff on them once in awhile. That's how new classics are made.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 small head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds), cored and cut into small florets (about 4 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup Buffalo-style hot sauce, such as Frank's
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces and softened (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup freshly shredded Cheddar (about 2 ounces)
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (about 1 ounce)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped chives or scallions, or to taste
Celery sticks, carrot sticks, bread, potato chips or tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a 9-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet, toss the cauliflower with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil and cook on the stovetop over high to steam, 5 minutes.
Uncover the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is fork-tender and caramelized in spots, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the butter. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce and simmer until the sauce has reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
Turn off the heat, then stir in the cream cheese and sour cream until combined. Sprinkle the Cheddar on top.
Bake until bubbling around the edges and the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. If you'd like the top to get browned, run it under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes.
Immediately sprinkle with blue cheese and chives. Serve with vegetables, bread or chips for dipping.

From a acouplecooks.com. I never make the dip, and I just serve the cauliflower as a side. It would make a nice snack with the dip though.
