Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, whole
- 4 beets, peeled and quartered
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt, to taste
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup crispy onions
Directions
- Begin by adding our peeled beets to a large pot of water. Bring up to a gentle boil, then add the cauliflower head. Boil for five to seven minutes, or until the cauliflower is a nice pink hue.
- Preheat your oven to 375° F.
- Remove the cauliflower then dry it completely.
- Mix the hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika then paint all over the cauliflower with a pastry brush. Season with salt all over, then drizzle on the olive oil to cover. Place the tomato paste in a piping bag (loosen with a splash of water if needed) and the pipe skinny red lines all over the cauliflower to mimic the brain's veins.
- Then transfer to a baking sheet with a wire rack on top and roast for 45 minutes, or until tender.
- While the cauliflower bakes, take the beets from the water and pass them through a juicer to create "blood".
- When ready, splash some beet blood on your serving platter.
- Top with the cauliflower brain, followed by some blue cheese and crispy onions.
- Serve with a big steak knife plunged on top. Enjoy!
