Over the weekend I was thinking myself, self if you were ignorant and illogical about nutrition and wanted to totally bastardize an “unhealthy” food item, what item and how would you do it? The answer was making a cauliflower hot dog. Low fat and low cals, mmmmm

The recipe scales as follows;

Cauliflower – 100%
Salt – 1%
Gelatin – 1%
Transglutaminase – 1.5%
MSG - .5%

Spices to taste

1. Roast cauliflower

2. Bloom gelatin then melt for 20 sec in the microwave

3. Puree roasted cauliflower with all the other ingredients

4. Take puree and roll it in plastic wrap, forming a hot dog shape, twisting both ends tight

5. Refrigerate 5+ hrs to let transglutaminase set (If super hungry, you could pop the plastic wrapped cauli dogs into a 130 degree water bath for 15 min to set the transglutaminase)

6. Sear both sides and plate

This was served on a potato roll with whole grain mustard and cauliflower “cheese”

Note: Please no pointing out how unhealthy it still is, I understand it’s made of evil white carbs, but still it’s better than nitrate riddled franken meat ;)

    Brilliant! I'll be having that for my lunch today. I only have broccoli in the house though, but I am sure that it will work the same way:)

    I once bought tofu hot dogs for my kids.

    They were not fooled.

    They were angry that they were not cylindrical, and said "I don't eat hexagon hot dogs". Yes, they looked like elongated hexagons.

    You can have my awful nitrate-ridden salty meat sticks of death when you pry them from my cold dead hands.

    It would never pass the "will my Labrador swallow it without chewing or peering at it suspiciously" test. Ergo it's not a hot dog.

    ...is it sad that I'm such a cauliflower addict that that actually looks pretty good?
