The original recipe for this calls for deep-frying the cauliflower, but I opted to roast instead to make it a little healthier and less likely for me to splatter oil. The tahini sauce for the cauliflower is fantastic, but I'm a sucker for anything with tahini and adding pomegranate molasses to the mix made it that much better.
