Beer Batter Cauliflower Was Mushrooms My Way Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Whisk flour, beer, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl to make batter. Submerge cauliflower pieces in batter to coat. Working in batches of 10, drag 1 piece at a time gently against the rim of the bowl to remove excess batter and transfer to the hot oil. Fry cauliflower, stirring gently to keep pieces separate, until golden, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried cauliflower to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Keep warm in the oven.
• Return oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) between batches and continue frying cauliflower.

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.

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil. Wipe down the cauliflower with paper towel so it isn't wet. Mix dry ingredients in one bowl, wet in another (beat egg before adding beer). Combine dry and wet, just until blended. Dip cauliflower into batter and place in the hot oil to fry. Let oil heat again between batches, and you can stir up the batter so it doesn't separate before dipping again. Drain fried cauliflower on paper towels, and serve hot. I like dipping mine in ranch dressing. :)

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, chives, lemon juice, mustard, thyme, cayenne, salt, pepper, garlic and lemon zest together to blend. (Sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• For the mushrooms: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, chives, thyme, salt and pepper. Pour the chilled beer into the flour mixture and whisk until the batter is smooth.
• Pour the oil into a heavy large wide saucepan. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side of the saucepan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until the temperature registers between 330 and 350 degrees F. Working in batches, dip a few mushrooms at a time into the beer batter to coat generously, allowing any excess batter to drip back into the bowl. Drop the mushrooms, a few at a time, into the hot oil and fry until the batter is deep golden brown and the mushrooms are tender, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature between 330 and 360 degrees F, 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms and drain on paper towels.
• Mound the mushrooms on a serving platter and place the dipping sauce alongside. Serve while the mushrooms are still hot.

Steps:

• Pour about 3 inches (more if needed to cover the mushrooms) of oil into a large pot.
• Heat until it reaches about 375 degrees Farenhieght.
• Meanwhile Mix beer, flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper and parsley flakes in a large bowl.
• Mix until smooth and well blended without any lumps.
• Dip mushrooms into batter and coat well.
• Fry mushrooms in batches in oil until crispy and brown.
• Time will vary depending on temperature of oil and the amount of mushrooms being fried.
• I usually do about 10 mushrooms at a time and it takes about 8 minutes.
• When done, remove mushrooms to a plate or bowl lined with paper towels to drain off excess oil.
• Place in a shallow bowl sprinkle with salt and toss to coat evenly.
• Serve with favorite dipping sauce!
