Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup tahini ( sesame paste)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
2 garlic cloves, crushed
salt & freshly ground black pepper
vegetable oil, to fry
1 large cauliflower head, cut into medium florets

Directions:

1. To make the tahini sauce, place the tahini, water, lemon juice, parsley and garlic in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside until serving.
2. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat (if deep frying - see note below).
3. Add half the cauliflower to the hot oil and fry, turning occasionally, for 8 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain. Repeat with remaining cauliflower. Place the fried cauliflower on a serving plate and drizzle with the tahini sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes:.
The original recipe suggested deep frying the cauliflower but I recommend reducing the oil to make this lower in fat. Alternatively, the cauliflower could be baked in the oven.
The tahini sauce (step 1) can be made up to 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container in the fridge.
