Fried Cauliflower Po'Boys With Olive “Remoulade”

1. 1

   ["Place cashews in a bowl, and cover with water. Soak overnight.", "Drain the water and transfer the cashews to a food processor or high speed blender. Pulse until the cashews finely ground. With the food processor running, drizzle in the water and lemon juice, stopping to scrape the sides once or twice. Add the mustard and Creole seasoning. Process until smooth. Remove 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon and set it aside in a small mixing bowl (you'll be using it to make a drench for the cauliflower later).", "Add the olives, pickled peppers, lemon zest and garlic to the food processor. Pulse until the olives are chopped. Taste for salt and heat. Season with salt and Louisiana hot sauce if needed. Transfer to a bowl and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to let the flavors mingle. (Alternately, do this ahead and refrigerate the mixture for longer).", "Get your prep done: Remove ribs, then tear the lettuce leaves lengthwise into approximately 3-inch pieces, then stack and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips. Slice the tomato into 6 thin slices. Cut the hoagie rolls into lengthwise halves leaving them attached at one end. Heat about 2-inches of oil to 365-375u00b0 F in a large heavy pot or dutch oven.", "Prepare your drench and dredge: Whisk 1/3 cup water into the cashew cream, adding an additional tablespoon or two if needed to reach a coconut milk consistency. Season with several pinches of salt to taste.

   In a shallow dish combine flour, cornmeal, Creole seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir or whisk until blended.", "Dunk the cauliflower florets, a few at a time, into the drench. Allow excess to drain, then transfer to the dredge, and toss to coat. Transfer to a plate to await frying. Repeat with remaining cauliflower, whisking the drench on occasion as the cashew particles tend to settle.", "Once the oil is heated, carefully add the cauliflower florets. Do this in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Try to maintain the heat at around 350u00b0 F. Fry, gently stirring on occasion, until golden brown. Use a spider or slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain and cool briefly.", "While the cauliflower is frying, spread both halves of the hoagie rolls with the remoulade, being pretty generous with it. Arrange each roll on a plate, in an open, flat orientation. Place 2 slices of tomato on each lower half, and sprinkle lightly with salt. Place a mound of lettuce on the upper half of each roll.", "Once the cauliflower is ready, arrange 8 pieces on each hoagie roll. Fold each sandwich together and serve with lemon wedges and/or Louisiana hot sauce for individual sandwich ""doctoring""."]
