KFC (Kentucky Fried Cauliflower)
When I made this the first time, I used tofu for the nonChicken (see post pictures yesterday). While the tofu worked very well, visually, it just did not remind me of the original. So, after some thought, I decied to try cauliflower. This versitile little veggie can be used in so many ways. Grated raw, it resembles rice, pureed, it can make a tasty replacement for mashed potato’s, and now, it steps up to take on the challenge of chicken.
While this does not taste like chicken, the herb and spice blend is definately KFC in taste, and the best part is you can eat the “skin” with no guilt.
Enjoy,
