tielanThe recipe is from the book Levant by the proprietor of the UK restaurant Tanoreen.
Cauliflower Steaks with Pomegranate Tahini
The recipe is produced online here and actually gives credit to the chef and the book. (Other ones by chef bloggers didn't.)

notes, thoughts, adjustments: It's a slightly tricksy recipe: lots of little moving parts, and quite a bit of messiness. Deep frying is probably easier if you have an air-fryer, although it's the dipping and crumbing part that is the truly messy bit.
I didn't have pomegranate molasses or harissa for the sauce, so I just blended up some pickled kumquats and added them in, looking for the tangy, bright fruity taste to cut through the breaded and deep-fried cauliflower. It definitely worked for my tastebuds!
In spite of all the hassle and fuss, it's delicious and a show-stopper and I would definitely make it again. It also ends up with a lot of smaller pieces of cauliflower that can be used to make a creamy soup or a cauliflower gratin.
Now I have to find a vegie dish with some nice vivid colours (greens, oranges, reds) to serve with the cauliflower steaks!
