Cauliflower schnitzel sandwiches are happening!
Get ready. A super crunchy, crisp, flavorful bite is right here waiting for you!
This is my trashed up attempt at an Octoberfest recipe. Instead of making any kind of meat schnitzel, we’re using a veggie.
I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW.
2009 me is like who are you and how is this happening and how is this your life?
Well it is and it’s good. You’re going to be into it! I promise.
There are a couple steps here and the finished product is a flavorful sandwich stack that you won’t be able to stop thinking about.
First, we have to bread and crisp up our cauliflower. Easy! Slice it into big pieces, like this.
In order to make it delicious (and, well, bite-able) in our sandwich, we have to bake it too. This will help keep the crispy exterior while softening the inside. Sort of like a big crispy, roasted cauliflower slab.
While that’s all going on, we can chop some red cabbage and do a quick pickle on it. You can make this ahead of time or about an hour before you eat. I love the briney flavor and the little crunch that comes along with it too.
OH and of course, the COLOR. Hot neon-y pinkish purple that is… natural? Sold.
Throw a few micro greens on the bottom of the sandwich for health. Or enjoyment. Whatever.
Um, can we talk about this caramelized onion mayo?
OMG.
It is insane. It is my new favorite thing. I don’t care about mayo that much and this is the best mayo I’ve ever had!
And all you have to do is caramelize some onions and whip them into your favorite mayo.
Okay okay, it does take a bit of time to do that. But the best part is that you can make it ahead of time if you wish. After all, this mayo is a sliiiightly high maintenance because, you know, to caramelize your onions, it takes patience.
But it’s WORTH IT too.
Then you assemble it into this masterpiece! That isn’t really very fancy at all but looks very fancy. Because hello.
Self care in a sandwich! That’s what it is.
