Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

Directions

  1. Whisk together the tahini, garlic, parsley, water, and lemon juice together in a bowl until no lumps of tahini remain. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  2. Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. Fry half of the cauliflower florets in the hot oil until they turn golden brown, about 8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining florets. Serve immediately with the tahini sauce.
