One of my favorite restaurants serves the most amazing cauliflower. During quarantine, my mom and I were craving it, so we recreated it at home. It is soft and crispy at the same time, with the right amount of tartness to hit all the right notes. They serve it with green tahini, nuts, and cranberries.
