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.

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower, chopped into bite-size pieces
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
kosher salt, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup hot sauce (Frank's Red Hot is a good choice)
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450°F.
In a bowl, combine the cauliflower with just enough olive oil to lightly coat the cauliflower and toss. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until browned, turning once.
While the cauliflower roasts, make the buffalo sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add garlic. Stir together butter and garlic with hot sauce; remove from heat and set aside.
If using, make the blue cheese dip: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, blue cheese crumbles, garlic powder, and salt & pepper.
When the cauliflower is done, remove from the oven and mix with buffalo sauce to combine. Serve with blue cheese dip.

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.
