    Instructions

    Sauce direction:
    Place tahini in a deep bowl, stir in the garlic.
    With a spoon, beat in the cold water, the lemon juice and salt. While beating, adjust flavor with more lemon juice or water to taste, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce has a thick gravy-like consistency.
    Fried cauliflower direction:
    Cut off the thick stem of the cauliflower and remove the leaves. Break cauliflower into small florets. Wash with cold water.
    In a 4-quart saucepan, bring 1 quart of salted to boil over high heat.
    Add cauliflower and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Drain it.
    In a skillet, heat 1 or 2 inches of oil. Put the dry cauliflower, a dozen or so at a time, and fry them in the hot oil for about 10 to 15 minutes. As they become a deep brown, remove with a spoon and drain on paper towels.
    Serve hot or at room temperature. Spread the tahini sauce on top.
