INGREDIENTS
METHOD
1. Using a frypan, pour in canola oil – enough to cover at least 4 – 5 centimetres from the base of the pan. Heat on a low-medium setting.
2. Meanwhile, wash and cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized floret pieces. Test if oil is ready by placing one cauliflower floret in the oil. If it doesn’t sizzle, wait until hot and then deep fry cauliflower in batches. Once fried remove and place on a paper towel lined plate.
3. Whilst frying make the tahini dressing. Mix the tahini paste, garlic, lemon, water and salt in a bowl until combined.
4. Once cauliflower has been fried, move to the tahini dressing bowl and mix. Add parsley and mix through.
