PREPARATION
- TAHINI-BASED SAUCE

- Blend garlic, tender herbs, tahini, and ⅓ cup water in a blender or food processor until a thick paste forms. Add the lemon juice and blend again, adding an additional small amounts of water if sauce is too thick. You are looking for a paste that is easily spreadable but not runny. Season with salt and pepper.

- Whisk the oil, seasonings, and salt in a large bowl. Add cauliflower and coat in oil.
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat then place cauliflower, cut side down and grill undisturbed for about 3 minutes until char marks form, then turn over and grill another 3 minutes. Slide the cauliflower over to the cooler part of grill, reduce heat to low and cover with lid. Grill until fork tender, 10–15 minutes.
- Spread some of your tahini based sauce onto the plates, add the cauliflower wedges on top and dollop remaining sauce over. Sprinkle mixed herbs and almonds on top, and enjoy.
