Chop cauliflower into uniform pieces and steam in a pot on
medium heat until fork tender, approximately 10 minutes.

Chop red pepper lengthwise into 4 pieces; remove seeds
and stem, then cut horizontally to make thin legs. Save the
base and top to make 8 round heads.

In a pan filled half full of water, boil hot dogs until slightly
plump.

When cauliflower is cooked, purée with an immersion
blender or mash with fork until consistency is smooth. Add
