Fried Cauliflower

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Season the Cauliflower

    In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, za'atar spice blend, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Cauliflower

    Heat a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned cauliflower florets in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    In a serving bowl, combine the fried cauliflower, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and crumbled goat cheese. Toss gently to mix everything together.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve warm, drizzled with spicy tahini sauce on the side.
